(18,318 posts)prohibition. You will never get rid of black markets in guns. If the power of American "gun culture" and its history has a tenth of the credence given it, a powerful, deeply-corrupting black market will ensue. I think, however, a non-registration UBC can divert LEO resources to breaking up some of this black market trade, esp. as it involves yet another prohibition, Drugs.
If course, the phenomenon of mass shootings/killings would probably be wholly unaffected by UBC or a meaningless ban on a weapon type. This kind of thing, if it is to be dealt with, is "custom" and quite site-based, and will involve heavy screening and more people with more guns.
Folks should seriously address the celeb/entertainment aspect of mass murders. So far, we only hear gripes about video games & movies.
