If guns are banned then only the criminals will have guns. The thugs that but the fully auto's do not get them at the local gun shop or Gander Mtn, they. like everthing else that is illegal is smuggled in. Prohibiting law abiding citizens of not being allowed to own guns will not cure anything and I wish some of the lib's and dem's would see this, that is the one thing about the dems that gets my goat. I love splits answer, gun control to me is being able to hit your target and present a effecent killing shot to that target. I have a semi auto SKS, I deer hunt with it as it is an effective weapon and also if the SHTF, it can use NATO ammo as all our enemies use 7.62 x 39.
