I'll leave out illegal activities such as theft and the black market because those engaging in illegal activities are already more dangerous than any normal person with a firearm. Reality: Guns are inanimate objects. People operate them.
- If someone intelligent was planning a murder, they probably wouldn't use a gun unless absolutely necessary. You can kill somebody with $2 steak knife just as easily and for a heckuva lot cheaper if you're motivated and inclined to do such.

Sure, guns are inaminate objects.
They are tools, designed and built spefically to kill.

Its the same as anywhere. If you go out of your way to antagonise police you can expect hassle over it, and if you really insist on pushing it too far you can expect some grey days.
