Blair said:Because handguns were outlawed, so only the outlaws now have handguns. Basically, none of the legally held handguns that were around prior to the ban are around today, this is due to the fact they were all registered, the legitimate handgun owners turned their guns over due to force & fear exerted on them from the Government, so the Government quickly accounted for all of the legally held firearms...
Blair=> This sort of reminds me of what happened here on this side of the pond when the District of Columbia (the capital area here) passed widespread gun bans and the tightest gun control here in the states. The result? Besides the increase in crime they made guns go underground. Today there are lots of handguns in the District; citizens that have them keep them well hidden and criminals are free to prey upon those who lawfully complied. A very sick situation. Also a classic case of the utter folly of gun control.
