Contrary to media hysteria, not very many people get shot in the USA with Submachineguns, Machineguns or assault rifles. You are way way way more likely to be killed in a car wrek.....And I can assure you, if you are killed by a bullet...you do not give a damn wether it was from a hand gun, a rifle or a machine gun.
With over 400 MILLION firearms leglally owned in the USA the percentage of all firearms used to commit crimes is miniscule. Guns are not the problem.
Actually considering that there are roughly 300 million people in the USA, the percentage of anyone getting shot for any reason is quite low too. Someone else pointed out that only 67% of the murders are due to firearms...so almost half are due to other means.

ONLY 67%!!!!???? That’s the majority you know.
Therefore if you banned all guns, logically the murder rate could decline by about 67%, just compare murder rates with firearms per 100,000 for England & America, The proof of the pudding is in the eating.[/QB][/QUOTE]No, you would not cut the murder rate by 67% you would force the murderers to find some other and possibly more violent way to kill their victims.
