(7,355 posts)...if its blanket across the board.
Your average low income hunter....who probably does need to hunt for food for the winter would be hurt badly.
Now, if you limit it to hand guns, assault rifles, etc. While leaving hunters alone (people who actually depend on them), then you might be going somewhere.
Now only the wealthy could afford these and people will scream foul. But seriously, why does anyone need a military gun?
The excuse that rich only can have it is lame. The rich have yachts...and I don't, where's mine?
Of course, some of the whacko's who have gone on murdering spree's do indeed come from wealthy families. However, I can imagine an underwriter at a desk saying "This person has a mentally ill person in their home....denied coverage". And ultimately, they won't be able to purchase a gun legally.
