Can anybody really get a license to sell fully automatic weapons, and then sell to "friends and family, colleagues, or interested buyers"?

A stage with a play is not a public place?

You said

thus illegal to use in film

so it sounded like you were talking about a sound stage or film set.

I do not know if the law considers a theater to be a “public place” since it is private property and admittance is controlled by the owner.

Even a stage with a play is a private venue that allows members of the public in but it’s still a private place.

We have open air free plays and shows on public parks.

Like I sai- the law specifically exempts plays, film, etc.

That is my point- someone gets ahold of some safety law or rule, and posts it- not knowing that the law or rule has specific exclusions plays and films, etc.
