  2. If the shoe fits.
  4. So... How many of those illegal guns that the criminals use were legal at some point? Maybe sold to some kind of dealer. What do you think Aaron?
  5. Heavily debated how many started out legal. Tricky to really do a study on, since most illegal guns have been "sterilized" meaning had the serial number and other identifying features removed.

    Also well not actually related, its interesting to note that once a illegal gun has a few crimes hooked to it, it tends to float around the criminal world, since no one wants it on them if they get busted. Like I said, not really related but fascinating.
  6. I'd guess that most illegal guns were legally manufactured and legally sold at the start of their lives.

  7. What you fail to realize is me (and most pro-gun people) are in favor of cracking down on illegal guns.

  8. No, I think you're failing to realize what I'm getting at. If the illegal guns were legal at some point, delegalizing guns would help against illegal guns too. Because less legal guns that could "turn" illegal would be made. I think making guns illegally would be pretty hard in the US, so then you'd have smuggling which would be hard too and kick the prices up. Lesser availability would also kick the prices up. So there'd be fewer illegal guns to get, and they would be more expensive. Sounds like it'd be less tempting to get an illegal gun.

    You ever hear of prohibition? Didn't work so well last I checked.

    In any case this is an American issue. Remember one of the reasons the U.S. exist as a country is because Europeans had an issue with our guns.
  10. You can take my guns when you pry them from my cold dead fingers.

  11. I have and comparing it to gun control seems pretty stupid, quite different issues.

  12. Not really that different at all.
