from way above:

"Gun laws make it really difficult for honest folks to get guns."

indeed...and NO gun laws make it really easy for honest and dishonest folks to get guns.
Who do you think will get the most?

"Yet crime is higher in DC, with the tight gun laws, and lower in Virginia, with the weak gun laws."

comparing a STATE, largely rural, to a city with all the urban problems? Fascinating use of data.


"Why?? There is presently a perfectly good definition."

No...there certainly is not. The definition needs to specifically exclude several categories.


...and the prohibitions against various things like conversion kits are happily obeyed by criminals, hmmm?

You are tap-dancing among misleading statistics and clever Gerrymandered definitions. I am trying to look at practical realities.
A 'practical reality' to gun fanciers is any situation that will allow them to own whatever they wish.
