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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
