    Yeah, lot harder to mass murder with lever action. And you still get to hunt, and defend yourself, but folks will be a lot less likely to commit armed robbery in the first place without a semi auto.

    Also youve got a fantasy world in your head where criminals are hiding out in their hidden crime bunkers and going to criminal store to get equipped with illegal weapons. No, most weapons for crimes are obtained legally and all of this is way less organized than you think.

      I don’t care about hunting. Crimes were done without the things you want to ban and would continue after.

      Criminals would get things they need from Home Depot and computer type stores. It doesn’t take as specialized equipment as you think. Also straw purchases and a black market is a thing. Criminals with a record aren’t obtaining them from an FFL.
