You beat the fuck out of your wife and went to jail. When you get out you have a condition that requires pain medication, and go buy some at the store.
You beat the fuck out of your wife and went to jail. When you get out, you decide you want a firearm, but it's now illegal for you to purchase one, and even being in possession of one will put you back in jail, and you can't just go buy one at the store because you'll fail the background check and possibly have the police come and put you in jail for trying.
Right. I imagine most of those rifles and handguns were used to kill more than one person each. So the amount of handguns/rifles actually involved in murder becomes even smaller.
With 12,664 total murders in 2011 (Down about 500 from 2010, mind you), 323 is pretty insignificant, yes. Add in all the other ways people died 'before their time' in 2011 and 323 is nothing.
In 2011 there were 323 murders committed with all types of rifles. In that same year, there were 6,220 committed with handguns. Yet there is an insane push to outlaw the firearm which is statistically insignificant in the grand scheme of crime.
Every single day? Averaged out less than once, probably. But when I go to the range I practice drawing and firing, and then it has to be unholstered to be cleaned regularly (whether or not it gets used at the range it's still good practice to keep it clean and lubed.) especially after I discovered a tiny dot of rust on the slide from before I kept it cleaned and lubed as regularly as I do now.
And as stated by countach74, a gun moves around in its holster even if it's secure. My regular carry gun is a Glock 17 in a Blackhawk Serpa; it's not going to fall out on its own, but it wiggles around a bit. I don't see any aftermarket finish holding up well.
Do you even know any women? What makes you think pink = women everywhere falling all over themselves to buy this item? My fiancee loves black guns, and doesn't care for pink.
Which is funny because I'd carry a pink gun every day if there was a finish that wouldn't go to shit quickly due to holster wear that was cheap enough to bother with.

Um... How would that be less dorky again?
Time to outlaw computers and shame "cyber nuts" out of the hobby.
has greatly helped their profits!
Who are you again?
An AK47 made from a shovel. http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/threads/179192-DIY-Shovel-AK-photo-tsunami-warning!?p=2695046&viewfull=1#post2695046
Or connecting the dots?
You got Windows XP? I had a fucking amber text WYSE TERMINAL in 2007. That they're probably still using.
Do you think you could shoot your own child if he attacked you?
Yeah I guess killing your mother to steal her guns is totally a legal way to acquire them...
Did you learn nothing from the 1920s/1930s?
Did you?
None of the above applies to a car that's never operated on public roads.

Please tell me one consumer good more highly regulated than firearms.

It doesn't. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8
Straight from the FBI. And your first point isn't really worth replying to.
Whereas the criminals, already flaunting the law, will keep on truckin' with whatever they have.
"Common sporting and competition guns" like.... the AR15!

So that's your final, comprehensive answer on what "target" means?

Define "target." Comprehensively.
Remember that a lot of guns the Mexican cartels have came from the Mexican military/police.
Police will generally not use lethal force unless the suspect is also armed with a gun, or presents an immediate threat to someones life.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha, you're precious.
