How’s that war on drugs been working out for the last thirty years?[/quote]

Looks like some lame attempt to steer the discussion somewhere else because you don’t like to hear bad things about NRA but unfortunately can not say anything positive in support of NRA either. Hoping that things will quiet down after a few days?[/quote]
The point, which is a valid one, is that making something illegal and hard to get doesn’t eliminate it from society, which seems to be the utopian goal here.
In fact, it will almost certainly cause an underground market to emerge and make criminals of many law abiding citizens. Hell, there already is a black market in guns for criminals. It will become quite a bit larger when that’s the only way to get a gun in the US.[/quote]
Yes, but right now you can just go down to Sears and Big 5 and get a semi-automatic rifle. Big 5 has two on sale, one for $250 and the other for $500. And who knows how many rounds of ammo you can get on-line.
Please explain to me why we need to have semi-automatics available for less than $500 at your local sporting goods store?
