Literally, you will pay $15,000-$20,000 for a single AK47, $6000-$9000 for an Uzi, or $12,000-$15,000 for an M16) in the united states and wait 4-6 months for the paperwork and background checks to be completed by the ATF. Full autos available to citizens in the US are ungodly expensive and highly regulated.

Moral of the story: Full autos in the hands of the cartel don't come from US gun stores or gun shows.

Extremely misleading statistic (re: 70% of mexican guns come from US) OneTenthofOnePercent Aug 2012 #3

Sadly, our gun culture cares little about the indirect effects of their need for more and more guns. Hoyt Aug 2012 #7

Replace the word "Gun" with "Drugs" and you might have a point DonP Aug 2012 #11

You are right, we need to relax drug laws and restrict guns severely. Hoyt Aug 2012 #29
