The avgerage police officer has a 9mm and the average gangbanger/big drug dealers have mac-10's or other automatic weapons.

If true, remarkably few of them are used in murders. I believe the prevalence of such weapons on the street is largely a TV myth.

I believe the prevalence of such weapons on the street is largely a TV myth.

It's also a media myth - using anything small caliber doesn't get much attention, but for that one in 100,000 that uses something approaching military class, it's blasted all over the news like it's some kind of epidemic.

One of the grabbers' major successes is implanting this myth into many in the American public.
