So what your saying is that if there was no such gun as a Hi-Point then the bold above would not have any weapons at all???? Maybe in fairy tale land, but in the real world they would figure out a way to attain a weapon. I'm sure a lot of crooks just walked in to their local gun shop, had the proper background check & walked out with a legal firearm. Not buying that, sorry.
Uh, yeah...I think it's a function of economics, not gun control. When "stuff" costs a "lot" there's usually less of it and fewer people buying it. Am I over simplifying this?
I'm not advocating banning cheap guns, merely pointing out that a cheap product gets distributed in greater numbers than an expensive one.
If a straw man buys 10 lorcins for the price of 1 HK, I guess we have more guns in the hands of crooks....?
