Less than a week ago, one reader sent us photos of the assault weapons he had purchased at a gun show without a background check. He then taunted the government to "come take his guns." Today another reader, who spent his Saturday morning fighting the crowds at a Florida gun show, sent us this picture of his purchase.
The 9mm Uzi, with a fully automatic conversion kit, sold for $1,400. Because the gun was used, there was no background check; the only item required for purchase was a local driver's license.
The automatic conversion is simple, though laws vary on how legal the modification is. Once it's converted though, the Uzi 9mm can shoot up to 600 rounds per minute with a range of up to 200 meters, or as far as two football fields.
"This gun is only meant for killing people," the reader said. "It's just a wall of lead. It's so f--king cool!"
The Uzi came with two 32 round clips, and he expects to sell it for up to $6,000 if laws are passed limiting such purchases in the future.
In the meantime, he's headed to the range to have "A helluva lot of fun," he wrote.
Update: 1:45 p.m.— The reader's gotten home, unpacked the weapon and sent additional pictures in response to questions about its authenticity. They are below.
