I gave the proof in the message. You just chose to edit it out. I also said
nothing about murders, I said crime. Regardless, here is another data point
with murders if that is what you want. Ever hear of David Koresh? BATF said
he had hundreds of illegal machine guns. Even used them to kill and wound
scores of BATF officers they said. You do believe the BATF don't you? Or
were they lying and the whole Waco incident was a publicity stunt for more
funding? Gotcha.
