Do you really want to make a case that the outcome would have been exactly the same if he obtained an Uzi?
We've always had weapons control and always will. Bill Gates can't buy his own ICBM, Warren Buffett can't buy Stinger missiles, and most of use can't own an automatic weapon. You can argue forever where the appropriate line is; but it seems to be an issue that the gun lobby totally rejects.
Where is the appropriate delineation between military only weapons and those reasonable for a well regulated militia?
