[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3363560, member: 44328"] I question whether they are really that popular with criminals. They're not really cheaper than buying a manufactured gun, and most criminals don't buy guns because that's not where they want to spend their money. I'm sure there are exceptions, but is concern about a serial number really what stops someone from paying for a gun? And it has many of the same problems as universal background checks. If you ban them all outright, you are suddenly making something illegal that was legally acquired. If you grandfather those that were acquired before a certain date, how do you know whether one was acquired before or after the date? They are not the most common kind of gun around, but there are enough of them out there that rounding them all up would be almost impossible. Ultimately, you just end up rounding up the ones you don't really have any reason to be concerned about. [/QUOTE]
