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or something, assuming the law would be repealed or simply ruled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!

Yup, until 1934.
I have seen magazine ads where they said a Thompson was the perfect
thing to protect your farm.
Of course that was when Auto Ordinance was not selling as many to the
army and the cops as they would like.



I would have thought that Capone and the underworld would have been
stock piling them....

Don, just as a point of curiosity, why go out of your way to start yet




another ****ing contest?




It's winter, minus 13 C , the boat is undercover in the driveway another 4 or 5 months so I'd like to do something that might be considered a public service.


So when do you start?
