End of story. Live with it or move to Britain or Australia. [/qb][/QUOTE]You notion of "no new law having an effect on existing guns"is incorrect. California just passed legislation banning lead bullets and I suspect that the price of ammunition in this state will go up. That is one example of a new law having an effect on guns that are out on the street right now. Along those lines, the government can pass a law right now that would tax the shit of ammunition. With the price of ammunition up dramatically, people would be less inclined to shoot because each shot would cost a lot. Third, The government could launch an aggressive gun buy back program and this could result in street thugs hard up for cash to give up their guns. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah, its driven up the price of ammunition and makes it harder to find. Furthermore, some law enforcement agencies have had some difficulty sourcing ammunition as of late. Alot, if not most of the time, criminals use stolen firearms and are able to obtain ammunition (either by theft or having a proxy purchase it on their behalf). In this state, it is illegal for a dealer to sell to a prior convicted felon or for a prior convicted felon to possess ammunition or firearms. Yet, the police come across it all the time. A lot of the gangs have guns which they stash at different houses at different times and have lower ranking members transfer them from place to place, depending on the amount of heat. If a gangster is hard up for cash, they're not going to turn in the gun for a $100 walmart certificate. They're gonna rob a store or try to jack someone cultivating and selling marijuana (who likely has a medical prescription, but that's another issue altogether). Simple math: gun +$500 is better than $100 walmart certificate. [/QB][/QUOTE]
