Sounds like he certainly might have been on the way to kill alot of people. Not just guns and ammo in the car, but loaded weapons and FULLY automatic weapons as well.

[quote]While taking an inventory of the vehicle, they discovered a loaded .357 magnum, a loaded .45 semi automatic, a fully automatic AR rifle in .223 caliber, a fully automatic AR rifle in .308 caliber, over 900 rounds of ammunition, and survival equipment. [/quote]

He probably was another nut job. I don't see the need for semi-auotmatic weapons or items created to modify weapons into semi-automatic. Unless you are being attacked by a gang of 20 or more self defense is not a valid argument and it certainly isn't a good weapon to use if you are hunting.

Any firearm short of a single shot one can be converted to full automatic.
In WW2 Australia and New Zealand equipped troops with the Charlton light Machine gun such was a converted bolt action rifle.
John Browning experimented with all kinds of firearms in his design work. His first full auto firearm was made from a lever action rifle (a cowboy gun)

The current law is that an unregistered full auto weapon is 10 years in a federal prison and $10000 fine.

Don't know.
