It's not entirely new ground, it's actually well-worn ground. Heard of the drug war? When you outlaw something with an incredibly high demand, one thing happens every time. You empower and finance the black market, which will gladly supply the goods.

Another comparison - but here, there was a paid hand-in. Yielded a lot of results.

Australia comparisons are invalid. Australia doesn't supply arms to the rest of the world, the USA does! They've done so for decades and make untold fortunes doing so.

It's not as though the US is at risk of a full scale military invasion . Right now, altering the specifics of the amendment would only really result in less life lost.

Not really. We should be thankful that USA spree killers haven't adopted the much higher body count weapon of "car bomb", made with easily procured civilian materials.

But hey, I agree - if there's that many weapons circulating legal and otherwise, if you're gonna own a gun, sure. Owning an arsenal or death machine? Just not really well advised.

There is NOTHING WRONG with death machines.
