If you restrict a product in its primary stream, there will be more demand for a secondary cheap source of the product (black market), the primary source will decrease in demand, as it will be in a greater price. I'm not suggesting ridding of guns absolutely, nor am I suggesting a simplistic, banning of guns, just more controls than there are currently.
Yes, if you had to buy the machines, but you dont, as there are plenty of people that work at shops doing this themselves and selling them under the table with no serial numbers and no registration.
As was already stated, any sort of ban is just going to increase the number of sales through back channels like the people that do this on the side at their machine shop.
|I think I got that about 30 posts ago. Again machine shops are standardized environments mostly for quality purposes keeping a watch on such places would be useful. To think they'd be making millions of weapons a year is a stretch. Sure they would make some but not enough to nullify any gun laws. Again, I'm not saying we wipe out all gun usage, but curtailing the number of guns produced by 2-3 percent per year would seem like a good ideal.
Weapons laws, should fall under laws that already in place in places like food processing plants. Security is a major issues at my work, because of terrorism fears.
The same it would make sense to apply to machine shops, or any industrial place capable of making weapons technologies. These might seem extreme but it's not just in the interest of the public, but companies wanting control over any risks associated with their business.
