The law abiding people might turn them in but that is not who poses
the problem. I think you night even find a number of otherwise law
abiding people who would stuff a few under the insulation in the attic
or something, assuming the law would be repealed or simply ruled
against in court.


They would get the illegal ones off of the street after a fashion by
attrition.


That would take generations.


How so? Any data to back that up? Didn't think so.


All you have to do is look at the illegal machine guns that people
have been hiding in their attic since WWII and that turned up in the
last LA amnesty buy back.
How many generations was WWII ago?


You used to be able to buy a full -auto Thompson 45 "Tommy gun"
through Sears and Roebuck. complete with 50 round drum too!
