Which is the whole point of all these ridiculous regulations. Just make it too difficult and expensive to obtain a gun. Same theory as raising the price of gas to match prices in Europe.
Yeah, the point is, "Locks only keep the honest people out." If you don't obtain weapons legally anyway, who cares? You buy a stolen gun, do a crime, get caught (or not), slap on the wrist, revolve back out of the prison system, buy a new gun, repeat... second verse same as the first. The motivation is simple - legislate weapons out of the hands of the people who buy and use them legally. Great logic. No wonder I'm not moving back there... -Wish
