>>217472279The records were destroyed in the war, maybe he just didn’t have available weapons on file for that time, and Skynet hadn’t patched it in yet.My question was the clerk letting him buy a small arsenal like that. Surely there’s a limit to how much you can purchase at one time.
>>217472373The 70s/80s gun laws were non existent. The only thing that was more strict was the licensing in some states
>>217472279It's just an AI glitch.
California wasn't the gun control capitol of the U.S. until after the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles in 1992. A lot changed there after the ganster rap and shootings with crips and bloods.
>>217472373Not in 1980s LA
>>217472373Firearms Act of 1986 banned future manufacture of automatic weapons. This movie came out in 1984. Which is why he's able to buy a full auto Uzi
>>217472279>Red Ryder BB gun
>>217472279There is a fan theory that he was sanity checking his info. The 30 wat plasma rifle was the only weapon that could do damage to him. So he made double sure that the time period didnt know what it was.
>>217472279Its implied that the government had Plasma Rifles but it was top secret shit and not for sale.

>>217472828>YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT
>>217472834That's a pretty fucking great fan theory. However, James Cameron probably just wanted to make a funny joke.
>>217472785Which is hilarious considering the puckle -sp gun and MANY others were made back even before the founders "but it's le for only hunting" James Madison and I quote directly capture or sink ALL British botes.
>>217472279hey buddy, nice muzzle and trigger discipline, you're point that thing right at me.
Why do all Terminator threads turn into something political
