Most of the firearms regulations on the books are pointless. The vast majority of violent crimes are committed by criminals who are repeat offenders and have no problem disobeying laws; hence, they are repeat offenders. Breaking one more law to obtain a gun is not something they loose sleep over. The people who obey gun regulations are the law-abiding people that you typically don't have to worry about. A knife can take a life in a second, but most people don't worry about their neighbors having a drawerfull of them in their kitchens.

According to the Department of Justice there has been only one homicide committed in the US using a legally licensed, privately-owned machine gun in the last 25 years. One. And that one was commited by a cop who killed one of his informants. Yet there are people in a major panic over how "dangerous" it is to let responsble law-abiding people own them. Huh? Phobias should not form the basis for legislation.

How many guns are there?

Limiting "guns" to small arms such as handguns, rifles and light machine guns, it is estimated there are 875 million guns in the world. An estimated 7.5-8 million small arms are produced per year. The vast majority (about 7 million per year) consists of commercial firearms, the remainder of military-style firearms. Adding crew-served weapons and artillery would make that number somewhat larger.


Can you shoot a 38 special in a beretta?

Beretta is a make of gun. They make rifles, shotgun, handguns and machine guns. Without knowing WHICH Beretta, your question cannot be answered. If you mean the military M9 pistol, no. THAT is a caliber 9mm Parabellum, which is a totally different cartridge from a .38 Special.

Why should handguns be banned?

They should be banned for two very good reasons, 1, to leave the public unable to defend themselves against gun wielding criminals (who get their guns illegally),and 2, they should also be banned to make gun crimes go up dramatically. Just like Austrailia, the UK, Mexico and Japan has done, they have banned the LEGAL sale of guns to their publics, and the gun crime as a result of that has gone up 40% in the last 2 years. Banning handguns is a very good idea for destroying your country!
