Interesting that your mind would go directly there.
Just stop it . . .
There are hundreds of thousands of full-auto NFA arms in the hands of private citizens.
I cited precisely the 1986 law that closed the NFA-34 registration of newly manufactured NFA arms. That effectively froze the nation's available census of NFA arms (and juiced the value of those guns --real "assault rifles"-- into the many tens of thousands of dollars.
You can go to Gunbroker right now and buy a full auto "machine gun":

IT AIN'T A BAN!!!!!!!
Google Big Sandy Shoot or Knob Creek . . . All private citizens shooting machine guns up to anti-aircraft guns and Vulcan mini-guns . . .

I believe he said it was the"unfettered individual right" to weapons like machine guns and Saturday night specials that he didn't agree with. Most states allowed hunting weapons, rifles, shotguns and handguns.
Someone with a class 7 FFL can build, own and possess a new automatic weapon.In 1986 federal legislation, called the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA), prohibited the possession of “new” machine guns by citizens. This meant that only machine guns made prior to this date in 1986 were lawful to be possessed by citizens (this is still true).
Who Can Own a Full-Auto Machine Gun?
With the right licensing, it is perfectly legal to own a full-auto machine gun! We show you, step by step, how to get the right licensing.
NFA of 1934 completely bans certain firearms.
Does it? NFA-34 required registration and a tax paid for transfer.
You could argue the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 did, by utilizing Title II of the GCA-68 and closing the registration window for NFA / Title II arms . . .
You can't own modern fully auto weapons. I think the cutoff year is 1984 and newer are illegal.

Anyone can own and possess an automatic weapon with a tax stamp (the tax stamp is unconstitutional).

That's clearly against the Second Amendment.

They banned black Americans from owning guns for decades in a clear violation of the Second Amendment.
A fraud on the American public." That’s how former Chief Justice Warren Burger described the idea that the Second Amendment gives an unfettered individual right to a gun. When he spoke these words to PBS in 1990, the rock-ribbed conservative appointed by Richard Nixon was expressing the longtime consensus of historians and judges across the political spectrum.
Twenty-five years later, Burger’s view seems as quaint as a powdered wig. Not only is an individual right to a firearm widely accepted, but increasingly states are also passing laws to legalize carrying weapons on streets, in parks, in bars—even in churches.
Many are startled to learn that the U.S. Supreme Court didn’t rule that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to own a gun until 2008, when District of Columbia v. Heller struck down the capital’s law effectively banning handguns in the home. In fact, every other time the court had ruled previously, it had ruled otherwise. Why such a head-snapping turnaround? Don’t look for answers in dusty law books or the arcane reaches of theory.
How the NRA Rewrote the Second Amendment
The Founders never intended to create an unregulated individual right to a gun. Today, millions believe they did. Here’s how it happened.www.brennancenter.org
And was an example of the US Curcuit court invalidating a law based in the 2nd AmendmentYour second case was the Heller case that was appealed to the SC that allow them to set the new precedent separating the individuals right to own weapons from required militia service.
That's not exactly correct.In 1986 federal legislation, called the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA), prohibited the possession of “new” machine guns by citizens. This meant that only machine guns made prior to this date in 1986 were lawful to be possessed by citizens (this is still true).

What I posted was what Chief Justice Warren Burger said about it and how the U.S. Supreme Court didn’t rule that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to own a gun until 2008. Before that, gun regulations and laws by the States were not overturned by the SC.
Your second case was the Heller case that was appealed to the SC that allow them to set the new precedent separating the individuals right to own weapons from required militia service.
Does the Second Amendment say that you have the right to shoot your gun? Of course not. Keeping and bearing are not shooting. No one said they're one in the same or that the right to keep and bear includes the right to kill.True, just because you have the right to have a firearm doesn't mean you can murder people.
Just like with the right to religion, just because you have that right doesn't mean you can have human sacrifices for your religion..
Have you guys caught on yet or do you want to continue to show your ignorance?
Thanks for the clarification. At first, I thought you were implying Joe Biden is wrong (which he is). Now I see that you agree with him.You need to learn how to read bro. I said that certain people shouldn't be allowed to have weapons and background checks should be performed, as it's not the weapon that's the issue it's the person using it. Just like a car wouldn't kill somebody unless there was a person behind the wheel controlling it.
Where is that in the Constitution? Mine doesn't say that.Thanks to the Constitution they have a right to deny firearms to felons and they can also use a conviction to make you a slave.
But appellate courts aren't the final arbiter, are they?The article never made that claim. U.S. Supreme Court didn’t rule that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to own a gun until 2008.
According to the Second Amendment, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”9 Prior to the Heller decision, there was little disagreement among the courts about this language's meaning. In fact, until Heller no federal appellate court had ever invalidated any law as a violation of the Second Amendment.
