How many crimes have been commited in the US since the ban with fully automatic weapons that were legally bought and possessed?

One more,
How many crimes have been commited in the US since the ban with fully automatic weapons that were legally bought, but later stolen and used by the thief or someone the thief illegally sold it to?

Something like one, and it was an LEO.

I believe the answer to Q1 is one,  committed by a cop in Ohio, I think.

As to the second one, I don't know.  Hopefully the above posted link will help.

I think a second one was committed lately, but again, it was someone who had access to such weaponry anyway.

Keep in mind that this argument can backfire badly on you.  Opponents can site strict law and a near 20 year closure of transferables as being a success in reducing gun crime.

In what way?  If there are plenty of people in this country who have owned and used fully automatic firearms over the last 20 years, and haven't commited a crime with them, doesn't that proove our point?

Points don't matter... they just banned .50 Cal rifles in Kalifornistan and no crimes have ever been commited with them here.

Not to them it doesn't.
