No it isnt at all. lets think about it, most of the weapons are in africa or the middle east. the U.S isnt a police force and cant really do much else in other countries right now other than special ops and air strikes. no matter what the U.N or other countries try to do, there will always be people carrying around RPGs and AK-47s becuase its their everyday life. in iraq for example, carrying an AK-47 around is like an american carrying around a pen. also people need protection for themselfs, their familes and their land. over their, the people who want to kill you and your family have fully automatic weapons so why cant them? i know that these weapons can be used agasint our U.S troops. no matter what we do, military weapons will fall into people's hands. plus how can we do it? hell we cant even stop illegals coming into the country down south so how can we stop weapons huh? you tell me.
