Re: The sad state of the gun trade in India

What's so sad is that neither insurgents nor Maoists are interested in buying sporting guns and they don't walk into gunshops, anyway. This is the whole fallacy of the idea "But don't you believe in reasonable gun control?" Criminals, revolutionaries, jihadis, drug smugglers and the like have no interest in Mausers, double rifles, muzzleloaders or any of the things we delight in and they get their AK's and blackmarket M16's, etc. from large dealers who are just as criminal as they are. Courtesy of the late, unlamented USSR the world is flooded with cheap, ugly and totally lethal selective-fire military arms that hunters and target shooters don't have any use for. Guess where they are? Out in the hinterlands, hidden under mattresses, riding around in the trunk of cars on top of plastic bags of suspicious white powder! But do the police give a rat's patootie? Nah! Gun control is nothing more that an excuse for a uniformed, bullying bureaucrat to harass and oppress the very people he's supposed to be protecting. The whole damned world needs the Second Amendment!
