About laws:

Owning fully automatic weapons is 'mostly' illegal,as is converting a semi to an auto....

But the $50 kit to DO the conversion IS legal... as are the "bump stocks" he used which allow 'almost' automatic fire by using the gun's own recoil to fire faster than anyone can actually pull the trigger.

So...any ideas where **laws** that don't actually ban guns could be applied? (we all know that banning or confiscating guns would be essentially impossible as things stand)

The Republicans were about to introduce legislation to allow certain types of special ammo designed to penetrate armor.... any ideas about that? (they are now 'waiting' on that and a couple other more 'liberal', NRA approved, laws.

   Do the math.... more population means more stresses in society and more mental instability. With guns legally available to almost everyone until their instability surfaces in ways which make headlines, the total number of dangerous, unstable people with guns WILL rise. Add to that recruits to terrorism, anti-abortion radicals and just plain, 'normal' people who "feel the need for protection" but have limited skills..... any ideas how that might affect a few sad statistics in the future?

I am no expert on weaponry, but I can read, reason and do math. I don't like what I see coming.
