Were there as many Tommy guns shootings post NFA as pre NFA? Are there as many today? Would there be more if a 18 yr old could buy them at Wal-Mart w no checks, no paperwork, no waiting, etc?
While I am against most (not all) gun control on principle, not so sure none of it ever "works". Some is a good idea no matter which way the crime stats go. And some is a bad idea no matter which way they go.
Just like CCW. Don't like linking it w crime rates. Rates can go up or down for a variety of reasons that having nothing to do w guns or CCW. Sure wouldn't want to put a trigger in CCWs laws that say they are suspended/repealed if crime goes up above pre CCW law rates... as they have some places. :wink:
