Giving Gun Reform a Shot

42. There are numerous problems

The first of which is that laws regarding the intrastate activity of the people and the sale and purchase of private property are the pervue the states.

Full autos are not used often in crime simply because the intentions of most criminals are efficiently accomplished by a combination of concealed arms, surprise and fear. Full autos generally become an advantage only during a prolonged gunfight/battle and even then mostly among combatants of limited training. The proof of this is seen among the exploits of the Rhodesian Light Infantry "the Saints". The RLI found that firing 20 rounds semi-auto was more effective than firing 30 rounds on full-auto. There is also the added difficulty of carrying several 30 round mags while maintaining a low profile on your approach to and departure from the crime scene.

To the point of your post, (I think you can control crime by disarming non-law abiding citizens.) I am rather certain that this is already being done most places. When an individual is arrested, any firearms in their possession are retained by law enforcement. Generally, their residences are then searched and evidence, contraband and other illegal items removed.
