I don’t own a single piece on the list. Most of mine are the far more friendly and family-oriented ones, like AKs, AR-15s, M1As, Carbines, autoloading shotguns, mid-priced auto pistols, etc..

And a huge omission from the list– those awesome, ultra-scary, magically-deadly and magically accurate-from-nineteen-miles-away 50 BMG rifles that we all know are carried inside those baggy pants of street criminals everywhere, and that terrorists are using daily to take down 747 airliners with a single shot!

At least now we know who’s using those Lorcins, Davis’, and Brycos.

Hmmm…. wasn’t the S&W .38 the standard police issue for a long time? Wonder what happened to all of them when departments switched to self-loaders? Ah well, I’m sure wherever they wound up, it’s not a problem.

Did you look at the table linked?
Not from a numbers perspective, but from a website / graphics perspective?
It is frickin’ horrible!
If I presented that table layout and those graphics to a customer I wouldn’t even be given a chance to show page 2.
That is a huge waste of tax-dollars there…..

Mossberg, but not Remington?

But it’s not strange the the only long-arm is a shotgun. Stastically, shotgun wounds are more likely to result in death than any other wound. (Handgun wounds are, statistically, the most survivable. Rifle wounds fall in the middle…)

Two out of ten here. Considered who makes most of the others — Bryco, Davis, Lorcin — I doubt I’ll have more.

Well if we keep them locked in our gun safes, they won’t be able to overpower us ;-}

Heh, I have two categories out of 10, five all together.

Wonder how long before they shatter my will and force me into crime?

I own 3 out of 10, I guess I am an exception to the rule as the guns havent started calling me to commit a violent crime.

Well that is true.

Duck: I think these stats are shooting-related. Hi-points are better used as clubs.

1) The Trend: Smith & Wesson is knowingly selling “crime guns” to criminals because obviously, there is no way that criminals can obtain them illegally.
2) What’s Missing: Someone intentionally left full-auto AK-47′s off the list. Because if there is one thing i’ve learned from the media, full-auto AK’s are the crime weapon of choice.
