Gun Control III - the Gunnening

[Fartsniffage]

I'm never sure how punishing those who use firearms illegally isn't enough for gun grabbers. Why punish the guy who commits no crime?

Follow the money.

$13.5 billion revenue for the civilian gun and ammunition industry in the US in 2015. How much does the gun grabber industry earn?

If they sold things people wanted to buy, they would make money. That's how things like this work.

Because it isn't about the crimes, it's about people liking what they don't like.

What? That makes zero sense when you understand the post I was replying to.

The post you made is ridiculous, gun manufacturers make that money when they sell a product. What product do gun grabbers sell?

The person you were replying to wasn't saying there was a great 'gun grabber industry,' just that rich anti-gun people donate to gun control orgs.

And my counter point is that there is a $13 billion industry that is opposed to them. You can't be so thick that I have to explain this to you.

They've got other things to spend money on though.

No you didn't. You just proved my point. Follow the money.

According to the Small Arms Survey, the US has about 393 Million firearms in private hands. If we assumed all 393 million firearms was a cheap 169 dollar pistol, that would make the firearm market in the US to be $66.4 Billion. So I think your donors are going to need to donate a bit more to get rid of firearms...

Money has got nothing to do with it.

Turns out that industries which make products that people want tend to earn a lot of money.

It is within the best interests of those who profit from the manufacturing and sale of firearms to civilians to lobby for less restrictions on such products' purchases.

It is within the best interests of the American people to fight for less restrictions on firearms.

Some reasonable estimates puts the number of guns at up to 700 million.

Does America get to buy 169 dollar pistols?

Some are even cheaper. I would want to depend on them though.

Cheapest gun I've ever seen in a gun store was a $99.99 .22LR single action revolver. Cheapest functional gun I think I've ever seen is a Hi-Point, (I use the word functional loosely) and those were running about 250, plus tax and tyranny.

I wonder if the government should consider giving everybody a cheap gun for self-defence purposes? Obviously the gun market remains as it is, but everybody has a gun in the house.

Even if that was somehow required I'd hardly trust a gun provided for me by the state of California.

I've seen$100 semi-auto .22 and .25s. You might be able to find $100 .22 rifles.

flintlock .22 would be the best you could hope for.
