Or even proof > of their increased use in crime. 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. -- Mike Tighe, (214) 497-4206 tighe@convex.com
