I was thinking the same thing. How many folks have ever been killed by “Tommy guns” in the USA? I would guess that it was under 200. Probably under 100. (Not including combat deaths.)
Heh - and probably most of the dead were criminals in the first place!?
IMHO if one were to objectively examine every “gun control” law they are probably all abject failures. Which betrays the intent of the Rats. It ain’t about saving lives it is about civilian disarmament and they don’t give a damn how many people die attempting that.
