Of course, anything that is stolen is in the hands of criminals, but if they're not being used in violent acts then I don't much care who has them.

so i've got a guestion ;How many gun licence holders have been prosecuted for dealing in hot guns?
I can't think of any
So why doesn't this send a message to the government for gun owners as a whole ?
The reason i ask is a fella up here was caught with drugs,hand gun ( not licenced ) and stolen goods he was given 2 yr bond
because it was his first offence
A licenced gun owner would probably get 2 yr bond loose all his guns and licence for good and most likely a hefty fine first offence
or not
I don't want to sound like a stickler but i don't think the penalties for dealing black market guns is heavy enough after all these people
know they are doing wrong so that puts them in the criminal basket
The only thing feared by humans is fear itself and until criminals fear getting caught and all is taken from them and only then will you see
a drop in illegal guns and illegal activity so penalties have to be appropriate
Cheers

Throw 1 box in the washing machine with the law courts, 1 with the lawyers, 1 with the police department , 1 with the pollies wash for 6 mths
then only keep the clean ones then things may change
TRIVIA ;a criminal was caught with unlicenced guns, no gun licence and drugs
He was charged with posessing firearms without a licence,unregestered firearms and posession of drugs
This sounds ok but why wasn't he charged with not having his firearms stored in a safe manner ?
Now has any body ever heard of a criminal being charged with not having safe storage ?
I haven't
Well we are not criminals and we would be charged if our guns were not stored properly as the law requires (PLEASE EXPLAIN)
Cheers
Cocaine is not easy or cheap to obtain anywhere, firearms however are relatively easy to buy at little or no risk in the US

Retail quantities sure. But kilograms? I dont think it would be as easy or cheap as you think.

The larger the quantity, the cheaper the product per unit volume. That is the entire premise of buying anything in bulk, not excluding groceries, ammunition baking flour, etc..

Reading the legislation it seems penalties for infractions by licenced shooters are heavier than those for criminals who are found with firearms.
