(16,588 posts)Assuming it's all full-auto is false. So is assuming that there's a large amount. The vast majority, I assume, is not, as there hasn't been much evidence to indicate so. Not a lot of RPG's, either. (Again, your post).
"you then claimed, in posts 34, 39, 44 and 66, that gun dealers in Tucson were selling full-auto weapons to people smuggling them for the cartels. "
No, I was pointing out that dealing in full-auto weapons was a legal activity. So is selling 60 semi-auto AK-47's to a homeless man, paid for with cash, because, well, that's how Arizona and the NRA wanted it to work.
If you re-read my posts, you will note that the primary way I offered to stem the tide of weapons was not shutting down all full-auto dealers, but shutting down *all* dealers, or registering *all* purchases in a central database.
The full-auto-chain exists, but it's not generally run through dealers, and is only a small amount of the weapons (along with RPG's) that move.
