    I mean, I’m sure there’s a statistic that someone can look up but as many people as are on the planet, I feel like there would always be someone within shouting distance if not closer. I guess it really depends on how fast the earth is moving and what the frame of reference is.






  • You can get semi auto hunting rifles with a capacity of 6-10 rounds. I’m as anti gun-violence as anyone, and generally agree that more gun control is not a bad idea, but outright banning AR-15s is not the answer.

    There are too many already out there to make a dent, and anyone can 3D print a lower receiver that will will hold up for at least 20 rounds.

    80% lowers are a thing and you can “finish” them with basic hand tools and a drill, then you have an unregistered firearm.

    There are many other ways to acquire one illegally or semi-legally, but they are currently pretty “obscure” since it’s so easy and cheap to buy a lower and assemble your own. Banning legal sales will only bolster the alternative methods.
