Given the Australian example where only about 20% were turned in, I expect 50% would be huge. Even with 20%, since no new semi-automatics could be sold, that vastly reduced the existing ones being sold into the black market because they couldn't be replaced at any price. Oddly enough, when criminals couldn't easily get guns, they didn't use them...

After the failure of Prohibition, the failure of the War on Drugs, the failure of illegality to diminish markets in tens or hundreds of other items, why in the world would you think it would do anything other than INCREASE the supply? God, you people never learn. Within a few years you'll be able to 3d print ar15s on your kitchen table.

Not much probably. But even that is impossible. 100M people choose to own those 360M guns.

Robber With AK-47–Style Rifle Taken Out by Concealed Carrier at Waffle House in Dallas Suburb Once again we see that the only thing that spoils the fun for a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun: A robber armed with an AK-47 assault weapon stormed a Texas Waffle House, only to be shot by a pistol-packing customer, police say. Most likely it was not an assault weapon by an AK-style semiauto sporting rifle. But it would still not be a welcome site when brandished menacingly in a restaurant — particularly in a Dallas suburb, only a week after the massacre of five police officers. Police say the suspect, believed to be 25 or 26 years old, entered the DeSoto restaurant and robbed the customers and business around 2:30 a.m. Thursday. A concerned customer and licensed handgun holder told police his wife was on her way to meet him at the establishment. Fearing that the armed robber could harm her, he told police that he confronted the gunman in the parking lot. The confrontation did not turn out well for the unidentified robber. He is on life support. Police have publicly released photos showing some of the suspect’s tattoos in a bid to potentially identify him. Cops say the ink is spread across his arms, legs and forehead. The man is further described as black, around 6-foot-1 and 180 to 190 pounds. Robbers are advised not to ply their trade in parts of the country where the Second Amendment is still respected. ........... http://moonbattery.com/?p=74295
