@CoffinFeeder Yeah. Dark web prices tend to be high. There is a reason why a third of the shootings in the UK involve antique calibers no longer being produced, and it's not because guns are plentiful and cheap on the street. Shit, cops have seized flintlocks from gangs over there.

@QuixoticSoul a drug dealer has a far easier time getting the money to get a Tec9 which is illegal being banned by the 1986 automatic weapons ban than a law abiding citizen working 9 to 5 who can’t own automatics post 1986.
The dealer will spend a good 5 Grand on an unregistered automatic compared to someone who could legally buy let’s say a $40k M249 and have to have a tax stamp with it at all times and be obligated to have unwarranted searches from the ATF.
That’s beside the point because most of your firearm owners have a handgun for EDC, and a shotgun or AR15 for home defense.

@CoffinFeeder Tec9s are semi-auto and aren't banned under the 1986 act. Which is why they were commonly sold all through the late 80s and 90s. Hell, that weapon was only created in 1985, if it was covered under the '86 act there would be hardly any of them out there.
And dealers [i]don't[/i] spend 5 grand on full-auto weapons, which is why virtually no crimes are committed with automatics these days.

It is a sad day today, the anniversary of a mass shooting in Connecticut which cut the lives of young children. I will forgive your lack of sensitivity in that.
Given your belief, would you be willing to limit number of weapons to one per person, require a thorough background check. Require demonstration of ability to use safely and show evidence of a plan to lock it up?

Only outlaws, the police, and the military. It seems that some people think that the outlaws will have the common courtesy to wait until the police arrive before they start shooting. Or am I missing something?

@TeresaRudolph71 if civilians are armed, they should agree to.all my requirements, but then how will the responding police know they are innocent bystanders and not the perpetrator?

@TeresaRudolph71 Yes. The numbers.

@samueltyler2 A properly trained police office should know the difference between a victim who is trying to defend himself/herself and the person attacking them. If they don't know the difference, they need more training, or perhaps more basic good sense.
