Interesting. In the US you must have a license for a handgun (well to legally own one you do). To own a fully automatic rifle there's a lot of hoops one has to jump through in order to get that privilege and it requires random audits from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms....class 3 licenses are difficult to obtain in the best cases and impossible to obtain in the worst cases. It depends greatly on where you live and who is in charge of your area and how comfortable they are with handing out such licenses.


Judging from that you guys ALMOST could have AR-15s, almost....they are just a smidge above .22


I'm not certain if knife crime would increase in the US if guns were banned, I do know gun crime would spike dramatically as a full on gun ban wouldn't be accepted by the populace especially members of that populace who are armed.


It is crazy the knife laws in the UK, there's not an adult male that I know in the United States who doesn't carry a knife at all times. But then again none of those folks that I'm talking about are in gangs.
