You don't know what you are talking about. I can legally buy and shoot a full auto weapon if I feel the desire, so just stop the nonsense.The 1700 shot and 300 killed in Chicago this year disagree with your childlike take on bans.
Really?
Who used a Thompson machine gun?
Who used a completely automatic weapon?
Bans and real safety laws without loopholes work.
How are your asinine gun plans working in Chicago?
You need to have a special permit to own one of those weapons. They were banned from just anyone being able to walk into a store and buy one by ronald reagan in the 1980s. Look it up.
Meanwhile who in Chicago had a Thompson Machine gun or a fully automatic weapon?
You still have not answered that question.
I've still proven that bans and proper safety laws work.
Gangs in Chicago use pistols because they are easier to carry and conceal moron........thug culture...
And again...explain how in France, where they have absolutely every single gun law you want.....they have completely banned semi-auto rifles, and fully automatic rifles, you can't buy them in gun stores...there are no gun stores, you can't buy them in gun shows, there are no gun shows..........
Yet criminals in France get them easily.
Terrorists, on French government, terrorist watch lists, got them easily and used them to kill 140 people in gun free zones.....
Show how those gun laws worked.....
And even in Japan...the Japanese Yakuza got guns and grenades when they wanted to kill each other.....you have no clue what you are talking about....
Britain did everything you want...they even confiscated guns.....all of them.......and their gun crime rate stayed the same...in fact...it went up 4% last year...and it is a freakin island.....
Easily in France ??? How many shootings happen in France ?
Those guys were part of an international terror org. That's what it takes to get an assault rifle over there .
This is how easily in France....

European Police Face Being Outgunned by Jihadists With Assault Rifles
But although the police quickly traced the weapons source in the Paris attacks, stopping criminals and other jihadist cells in Europe from acquiring assault weapons for further attacks might not be so easy, according to police officials.
French police believe rifles are on sale in French cities for between €1,000 and €1,500. Earlier this month, Philippe Capon, head of the French police union UNSA, told Bloomberg News, “The French black market for weapons has been inundated with eastern European war artillery and arms.”
A French police source told TIME that the weapons from the Charlie Hebdoattack came from the Balkans.
That is not the only source of weaponry. Donald says he fears that the continent might be facing a fresh influx of weapons from North Africa in the wake of the Arab Spring revolts. In August, 2011, Libyan rebels looted large quantities of mortars, tank shells and other munitions when Moammar Gaddafi’s regime collapsed. Although most of those weapons are believed to have filtered across North and West Africa, some could also have made their way to Europe.
The arms traffickers have flourished in the absence of well-financed antiweapons units in Europe, where law enforcement has for years tended to plow money into stopping drug-dealing and other crimes. “We don’t fully understand the scale of the problem because we have not had specialized units,” says Donald, referring to law-enforcement agencies in different E.U. countries. “It is a question of priorities. Any police officer will tell you it [resources] is a constant struggle.”
The trade in illegal weapons can earn enormous profits for organized criminal gangs — enough to make the risk of capture worthwhile. Donald says recent investigations have found arms traffickers investing about €30,000 in a shipment of Balkan-era weapons, refurbishing them in their garages, then selling them for them for about 10 times the price. “That’s a huge mark-up,” he says.
As Europe struggles to crack down on illegal weapons, some police recruits face a new training exercise: Go buy a Kalashnikov rifle. Donald says that in “a city in Europe,” which he would not name, “very young officers with no training or experience” were recently told to go find an assault weapon on the streets from an illegal arms dealer. “One came back two hours later with an AK-47,” Donald says. “He bought it for €1,000.”
