This thread has gone the way of people who argue the term clip and magazine, when they know what the other person meant.
A M16A1 generally meets the definition of a Machine Gun.

A machine gun is a fully automatic mounted or portable firearm, usually designed to fire rounds in quick succession from an ammunition belt or large-capacity magazine, typically at a rate of several hundred rounds per minute.

By the way...An M2HB meets the general definition of select fire rifle.

A selective fire firearm has at least one semi–automatic and one automatic mode, which is activated by means of a selector which varies depending on the weapon's design.

And the LAW makes no distinction between the two.

machine gun is a technical term for any fully automatic firearm, and also for any component or part that will modify an existing firearm such that it functions as a fully automatic firearm.

Both of our mustangs have active and passive alarms, door/. trunk sensors, sonic sensors, and voltage monitoring as does our F350 and GMC Canyon. I never considered, all modern cars were not so equipped..

In any case, you would think law enforcement departments that let LEO's take patrol cars home would ensure they came with one, or have them installed. And that's on top of what I would consider a bad choice of leaving ANY weapon in a vehicle over night....
