I live in New York City (commie stronghold in case you didn't know) where basically you need a license to take a p!$$. I want a semiautomatic rifle, but legally. (which by the way involves a lot of red tape and a 250 dollar application, photo & fingerprint fee).
Can I but an old semi-auto rifle and not have to deal with all this nonsense? Also how inferior is an old ww2 gun to a newer one?
