Presumably legal. There are no solid statistics to indicate what the number of illegal guns are - it can only be estimated.

Also, there are very few guns that are illegal. This would include only machine guns and destructive devices without proper paperwork. Most guns used in crime are legal to own by normal people, but in possession of what is called a "prohibited person". Felons may not possess guns, but it is the felon status that makes this a crime, not the gun.

Are automatic guns illegal in America?

There are semiautomatic guns (pull of trigger fires one shot) and fully automatic guns (pulling trigger ONCE fires more than one shot) Semiautomatic guns are legal in almost every place in the US. Fully automatic guns are restricted in a few states, but can be owned in others IF the gun is registered with the Federal BATFE, and a one time $200 tax paid on the transfer of ownership. LEGAL fully automatic guns are VERY expensive, with cost starting at about $2,000, and quickly going up. Guns such as an original Thompson submachinegun may sell for $20,000 or more.

Are legal drugs better then illegal drugs?

it depends what they are some legal drugs are if u take enough but there more of a risk of dying then illegal drugs, for example k2 is legal pot is not as good as the illegal but if u take enough it can be equal but your not prescribed enough to do that. Legal drugs, like prescriptions, can be just as addictive and harmful as illegal drugs. Some sources say that prescription medications are more harmful because they easily attainable, can be less expensive, and they aren't illegal to own if they're your own. However, more and more people are overdosing and entering rehab facilities because of their own medications. If you aren't taking medications as prescribed or are mixing them with other medications then they are most definitely just as dangerous as illegal drugs.


Why Gun in America should be illegal?

No reason for them to be illegal. Making guns illegal would be destroying the Constitution by destroying the sacred 2nd Ammendment right. _________ Not saying tghe 2nd amendment right is a small thing, but there is a bigger reason why making guns illegal is a BAD idea. In any country where guns are outlawed, only those people that are outlaws have guns. In a country the size of the US, with as many weapons are allready out there, it would be impossible to clear them out and allegedly make people safe. In reality, when predators know that the average citizen is unarmed, it allows them free range to pick and choose their victims at will. In a society where law abiding citizens can and may be armed at any time, predators tend to be more selective about who and where they strike. Even the bad guys don't like to get shot.
