"I am struck at how vigorous the market remains for "black guns"-military-styled semi-automatics or "assault rifles," if you will. Given the efforts on the federal level to discourage and restrict these firearms and the much more oppressive measures here in California. I am surprised at how thriving this market seems to be. The black guns have never been my cup of tea, perhaps the result of have come of age prior to the M16 era, but I certainly support the right of the law-abiding people to own them. Don't forget that high-powered, semi-automatic rifles have been sold continuously on the American market since 1905.
