Nor would we be here, unless you count the gun nuts already doing that..but it's silly to begin with, as americas gun violence problem is actually a rural problem.  Even the mass shootings are a rural problem.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No, it really is an all zip code problem. Urban, suburban and rural. Locations certainly vary, but firearm violence is everywhere. 

I have always hated "senseless" and "Isolated incident" used in actualities or interviews. Every shooting makes sense, in the home or mass shooting. Someone flipped out, wanted revenge, didn't want to lose their house or children, had mental health issues, got mad at their neighbor. Had road rage.  And firearm injury and deaths in the home count too, not just mass shootings, and those injuries and deaths can and do happen in in all zip codes.

You still have not answered Boru' s question - the same fucking question YOU ask - ad nauseum - how many guns should there be?

A number you greaseball. Give us a fucking number.

I gave one.

If you don' t give one - I win.....

Market forces - as proven through history - would drive up the price of existing guns to ridiculous levels. The next thing would be the manufacture of illegal guns.

Do you know what is the simplest - by far - repeating firearm that can be constructed?

Full auto submachine guns.


Guess what the gangbangers would be toting????

.

Funny thing about that - countries that have taken steps to limit the number of guns in private hands don’t seem to be terrorized by gangs of thugs toting fully automatic submachine guns.

Berlin, yesterday, at "Ku´Damm" aka main shopping mile.

A person with a history of mental issues took his car and went amok. Result: 1 person killed, and several severely injured.












And now imagine he had access to an AR-15.

Why would they when cheaper guns are available?

Do you know how to build a gun? From sctatch?

I know I could. I know at least a dozen guys who could. It is NOT rocket science. Any good machinist could build a gun - and the simplest is a sub-gun. Look at the complexity of a Bren, a Sten, a Mac10 or M2 sub gun. They contain the fewest pieces of any repeater. A revolver is by comparison a much harder build requiring much more complicated, specialized machine tooling.



....

Capitalists have a long history of selling knowledge - if the price is right.

But you said that limiting guns would make the price of existing guns 'rise to ridiculous levels', which would in turn lead to the manufacture of illegal guns, which would result in the nightmare scenario of gangbangers with submachine guns.

None of that happens in countries that restrict gun ownership.  Not here, not the UK, not Canada, not Australia, not Japan...not anywhere. I researched the price of semi-auto shotguns in each of those countries and it doesn't vary by more than about 20 percent (up or down) than US prices.  And as far as I can tell (though it's admittedly a harder thing to research), not a single one of those countries appears to be struggling with the problem of home-made submachine guns.

There will always be people who make their own stuff, guns included. But I'm unaware that restricting firerarms has ever resulted in OLB's postapocalyptic nightmare scenario of roving bands of gangbangers terrorizing the land with their homemade machine guns.
