What's an illegal gun nowadays? Who can tell anymore, unless the serial number is removed. There are just too many guns, too many loopholes for purchasing firearms, combined with the constant barrage of N.R.A. lobbyists crying for rights such as the right to easily obtain and sell assault rifles. Unlike the antique rifle, ‘Moses’ raised over his deteriorating, foolish brain. (just so you all know, I'm not some N.R.A. gun nut.) I just can't see the how even the strictest of gun laws could stop any nut, even a potential terrorist, from obtaining their firearm of choice in this country. Just as, I can't see how the war on drugs, no matter how much money is spent fighting it, nor the ages of which it will last, could stop any would-be dealer or addict from obtaining their product of choice.
