Will we have a whole wonderful black market where you can get guns from if you wanted.
Especially hunting rifles i mean i dont remember marylands laws well but you could go into walmart or kmart and get yourself a hunting rifle easy. Because its a rifle hard to conceal not really practical to use in a situation like an armed robbery, pistols are much better for that type of thing. But with the black market and such people could still get weapons. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Will Swain" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 9:14 AM Subject: RE: Possible Sniper Arrest > I see what you are saying Hatton, but I can't see any argument to the logic > that preventing legal purchase of guns = less guns in circulation = harder > to get hold of.
