The problem with the logic here is say that means if 1,000,000 (0.33% of the population) people want to buy an automatic weapon that means a collection of $5,000,000,000 which seems like a lot but it's nothing in the Federal budget. The Federal Goverment can make more than that if they would open up oil drilling in Alaska, off the coast, Colorado, and other states that have oil we can't drill. It would also resolve foreign dependence on oil. But that isn't going happen either.
