If You Outlaw Automatics, it doesn't Mean only Outlaws will have them

   Enter the fully automatic weapon as evidence that the principle, "If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns," is wrong.
   Automatics are illegal. And, criminals don't have them. If there are criminals who do, they are extremely few, even as there are extremely few people, in general, who have them. (Only automatics made before 1986 are legal.) More, I have not heard of people being murdered with automatics. I read somewhere on the Internet that there might be only one murder involving an automatic.
   The bump-fire stock used in Las Vegas essentially turned a semiautomatic into an automatic. Bump-fires stocks were legalized in 2010. Only seven years later, they were used in the worst mass shooting in modern American history, a testament that if certain weapons are legal, they will be more likely to be used in mass murders.
