Honestly, I hate all the speculation that happens with any murder/rampage. I think the media hypes it up beyond sensibility like during the VT massacre where they reported Cho was using machine guns (handguns actually).
Just so you know, there is over 500k machine guns in the USA (a lot more silencers). These are available to most civilians in most states. Only 1 has been used in a crime and it was done by a bad cop.
You are much more likely to be killed by a simple revolver or beaten to death. Only 3% of murders happen with "assault-weapons" ... which usually means painted black with folding stock [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

your 1st post revealing extensive knowledge (w/ stats and percentages) of assault weapons is disturbing...

Not really. Anyone who has ever sensibly looked into the gun debate knows this.

Uhmmm...I just want to point out that this is incredibly incorrect. Machine guns have been used in a lot more than 1 crime. I have personal knowledge of at least 5 incidents in which fully automatic weapons were used in a crime. I imagine it's happened a few other times as well. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
