I was going to mention that, ever since they made murder illegal, only criminals kill people. But the point was already made at the expense of red-haired people.
And "tango" is the phonetic alphabet equivalent of 'T'. Are the bad guys in "Rainbow Six" something that starts w/ 't'? Terrorists, maybe, or something similar?

About the weapons-situation in the middle-east, africa and asia, I wonder how it would look if I went back in time and strangled Comrade Kalashnikov, huh?

And banning guns has made Washington, D.C. the safe and crime-free paradise it is today.
20% of guns siezed in D.C. are homemade.

WHOA! You're right. I screwed up big time. Edited for accuracy.

But could we still have a source ... ? I'm interested in how people go about constructing guns (I guess I could go watch "In The Line of Fire" again, tho ...)
BATF, Analysis of Operation CUE (Concentrated Urban Enforcement), interim report (Washington D.C.: February 15, 1977), pp. 133-34.
Admittedly, this was 24 years ago. However, given the number of sources available to learn how to make homemade guns (see below, all available from Amazon.com), the number probably hasn't shrunk.

etc.

Um, okay. Very informative, but shouldn't we try to do something about the flow of guns being purchased legally and getting into the hands of criminals?

Well, Omega, if you'd bothered to read the thread, I posted an article which explained how limiting handgun purchases to one a month reduced the blackmarket distrubition of handguns from Maryland and Virginia to various cities.
Apparently, however, you decided not to read the thread. I suggest you do it now before continuing. Thank you so much for your time.

Actually, I was hoping for a little more detail on how this plan is implemented. Is there some central database that keeps track of all handgun purchases in these states?
As always, intent doesn't matter unless you have a decent method of execution.
