Comment Re:Why? (Score 1) 551

Firearms in the 5-figure cost range aren't used in shootings in the US. Why? Because they're expensive.

This won't ever be used to commit a crime, unless it's used by someone with official access to one. This is much like the reason why automatic weapons aren't used in crimes in the US but for a handful of times. Of that handful, most were committed by police officers with access as a result of their job.

Pub. L. 103-272, Sec. 1(e), July 5, 1994, 108 Stat. 1234.
As codified in 49 USC 46303.

Prior to July 5th, 1994, or the date of enactment set in Public Law 103-272 if it were later, carrying a firearm in the passenger compartment of an airplane was legal. I cannot find an earlier law prohibiting carry, though I may have missed one. There are those who claim it was outlawed in 1968, but I have been unable to verify if that was the case.
