[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1340177"]Another example of how I don't google only friendly sources... the 1934 date of when machine guns were banned that I mentioned to Samantha is a fact I found on guncite.com, which is a pro-gun-rights site. Some other facts they posted, and from a book by a pro gun-rights author: [quote]in Targeting Guns, Kleck writes, four police officers were killed in the line of duty by machine guns from 1983 to 1992. (713 law enforcement officers were killed during that period, 651 with guns.) In 1980, when Miami's homicide rate was at an all-time high, less than 1% of all homicides involved machine guns. (Miami was supposedly a "machine gun Mecca" and drug trafficking capital of the U.S.) Although there are no national figures to compare to, machine gun deaths were probably lower elsewhere. Kleck cites several examples: - Of 2,200 guns recovered by Minneapolis police (1987-1989), not one was fully automatic. - A total of 420 weapons, including 375 guns, were seized during drug warrant executions and arrests by the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad (Will and Grundie counties in the Chicago metropolitan area, 1980-1989). None of the guns was a machine gun. - 16 of 2,359 (0.7%) of the guns seized in the Detroit area (1991-1992) in connection with "the investigation of narcotics trafficking operations" were machine guns. http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_gcfullau.html[/quote] It appears that criminals didn't find illegal guns much easier to get than civilians after all.[/QUOTE]
