Most of the criminals are ******* until they get their hand on a gun.
And most victims are ******* at the hands of a criminal

What's your point?
My point is that converting an AK-47 to full auto is not rocket science.

What's yours?

lol
I have a handgun I keep for protection in my home, they are legal to own where I live. However, even if they were not, I have several non-handgun options that I would be completely comfortable using instead.

And if he does have a gun...you'll be taking it up your "crack."

Maybe you should post a sign in the front yard warning potential criminals that you live in a "Gun Free Zone" and are armed with a baseball bat!

My point is there are many books available to facilitate committing illegal acts.

Why is a book showing how to illegally convert a AK47 to fire full auto any different?

Ok. Cars aren't used legally by drunk drivers, being used to mow down and kill the innocent.

Do you propose we ban cars. You know, for the children?
