So is this what we really think solves the issue?
ok, lets assume an increase.. what makes you think this increase is going to noticeable?
A 1% increase..may only be a 100 guns...for example..
when looking at other countries, like Australia...it's clear gun prohibition lowers gun crime, and other crimes are still lower than in the US. So even if there is an increase, what makes you think it will be noticeable?
Also how does this increase surrounding crimes? You think gangs are out there using guns in their name at the moment? There's a good chance that the illegal gun trade, won't change at all.
You do agree that, even if guns can be bought illegally, it's not easy? (in countries like mainland europe). What makes you think it would be easier in the US?

the reason it would be easier is the fact that half the country would think it to be BS that they cant have gun. not to mention how many mills lathes and 3d printers there are in the usa. right there is the means and motive. then there is all those guns already in existence. americans would never go for a gun buyback program.
people say that drugs are easier to produce than guns but they are wrong. some drugs require large fields in the mountains to grow, then small labs in which to extract the active compounds from those plants. and yet it gets done. a gun requires a garage with two or three basic machines that are readily available. and some metal.
banning guns would cause black market manufacturers to pop up. and the corrupt government would probably pay the American gun manufacturers to go to third world countries and teach their criminal organizations to build guns, kinda like Americans taught Mexicans to make meth and Columbians to extract cocaine.

for the billionth time, NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT BANNING ALL GUNS
also your post really points out the self-fulfilling prophecy around this black market talk.
I think what everyone pushing this argument means "If they commit this perceived slight against my "right" to unrestricted/unmonitored semi-auto rifle purchases then, I will be purchasing them illegally"
which really makes you question things about people.

it really surprises you that society as a whole has a mentality of. "if you say I can't I will go out of my to"?
I realize nobody is calling for a ban on guns, but they are calling for being able to strip a person of their rights without due process, which is scary as hell. as well as banning semi auto weapons or at least reducing magazine capacities to 10 rnds or less.
none the less, the technology is out there and guns will be made no matter what the law says.

As already noted. Guantanamo doesn't house American citizens, therefore, it is not an example of stripping a person's rights without due process. In fact it is an example of the opposite. Enemy combatants were taken from military prisons in other countries where they had no rights and brought to Guantanamo Bay where they had to be given due process, albeit at a different level than American citizens get.

its all over the news that the democrats want to make to where if you are on the "no fly list" or the "terrorist watch list" that you should be disqualified from buying a firearm.
the cspan footage of the sit in with the signs that read "no fly no buy" should be enough

So a few wacky liberals are spewing wacky ideas? Nothing new there. Wacky liberals and wacky conservatives have been acting wacky since the beginning of wackdom.
I thought you were implying that there was some sort of actual movement to "strip people of their rights without due process."

One thing you have to understand is that the proposal you're speaking of would require either that the lists be revamped to include due process or that the Constitution be amended.

It's not a toy at all. If you get a live round, it will fire it. Rocket launchers are easy to get. Rockets are a bit harder.
It's an old wall decoration . I don't think the m72 Was designed to be reloaded . It came with a rocket in it you fire it and throw it away . If you were using this thing in Vietnam you wouldn't of even had extra rockets laying around so the chances of finding a rocket and somehow figuring out how to make it fire again is probably not just hard but impossible .

It's definitely possible, but certainly not easy.
Still, it is a rocket launcher and easy to get in the U.S.

You can buy all kinds of destructive devices , but the laws regulating the projectiles usually make it not worth it . The rounds have to be inert in most cases , depending on the size I think. The m72 was issued as a round of ammunition . I think from a legal standpoint the law would classify this as an inert round . So you can call it a rocket launcher , a toy , a worthless metal tube or watever you want you won't be wrong . But legally speaking I think what you said is inaccurate . Your the lawyer though so you tell me .
