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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
