We can presume this was in reference to the recent shootings and murders of innocent men, women and children and that he was referring to semi-automatic rifles similar to the AR-15, which are civilian variants of the standard Department of Defense service rifles and carbines, the M-16 and M-4, respectively.
This confusion seems to be a common mistake among those unfamiliar with firearms.
Private ownership of fully automatic weapons on Guam is illegal. It is also highly regulated in the U.S. mainland, complete with a six- to nine-month wait during your background investigation and an ATF tax assessment. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
