There may well be a black market for full auto firearms in the US, but its not a result of diversion from civilian-legal sources.
Please explain how this is full regulation of firearms...... dumbass
In case you missed the point (you did), you claimed the black market was a result of poor gun control, citing the availability of M-60's (which are full auto) in Kentucky.
You are mistaken. Full autos in the US, while legal in some states, are heavily regulated under Federal law. Are you under the impression that private citizens can walk into a gun store, purchase a machinegun on the spot, and the sell it at their pleasure on the streets, legally or otherwise?
If "M-60s" are available on the streets of any city in the it isn't a result of lax regulation (because the regulations are far from lax), but something else.
Now, if you were talking about something other than full auto firearms, you might have a point. But in that case your comment about M-60s was ignorant hyperbole at best.
Dumbass, indeed.
