In reference to the ‘no epidemic of Gatling gun crime’ comment, yes.
What other epidemic of a specific type of gun crime is there, exactly? (And no, entire categories like ‘hand gun’ don’t count)

How convenient for your argument!
Why not? You aren't concerned that our murder rate is seven times that of other OECD nations, and 25x when limited to firearms?
Because words have meaning, and ‘handgun’ can mean anything from a muzzle loading musket to a literal MAC-10 that can fire 1800 rounds per minute.
And if you can’t understand or articulate what is going on, then good luck doing anything about it?
I provided a concise term that actually has a concrete meaning. That is the thread we are in.
Care to join? Or do you want to scream incoherently into the void more?

Yes, that's what this thread's about. You argued Gatling guns being legal makes gun control overall silly; someone else noted that the theoetical regulatory gap exists because in practice no one uses Gatling guns in crimes.

I think 25x the gun homicide rate effectively articulates what's going on. Do you disagree?
