Few will question if this is racially motivated.

You need a reality check.Tyrone with a felony conviction certainly is,because its a 5 year federal prison sentence.

In 2012 there were 84,173 convictions for illegally having a firearm.Of those 84,173 convictions only 5,768 convictions were already convicted felons,just 7%.

Virtually no one gets caught with fully automatic guns which sentence is twice as long as a felon with a gun.

For the last time, this was never a debate about automatic weapons specifically. It was a demonstration of who will fill the market void after guns become harder to obtain. It was a demonstration of people finding new ways to source and deliver contraband.

New market entrants will find a way:

For the last time, this is about criminals not wanting guns if the penalty is high enough.

Only 7 % of illegal gun possession convictions are already current felons,because it has a 5 year sentence.

0% of illegal gun possession are for full auto weapons,because it has a 10 year sentence.

Those stats show that if the penalty is great enough people will not have illegal guns,regardless of the supply available.
