Generally there is little or no change. Folks that wanted to hurt and kill someone simply found another way.
The Police Sergeant who presented gave some really great stats on gun violence, and, though he does not claim to be a Christian, stated that the problem is "the hate in his heart, not the gun in his hand".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

No you didn't mention "firearms" but you said, "As to your analogy it was somewhat inapt because firstly the right to bear machetes is not written into the constitutional rights of US citizens" which implies you think that the 2nd amendment doesn't cover machetes but only guns, when in fact, it does. It covers all types of weapons.

Originally posted by Littlejoe View Postyou can own both automatic weapons and even a bazooka, but they are heavily regulated and require extensive background check and a license...but, in the US, it can be done.
