    Here is a short summary of gun laws in Spain: Gun owners must be licensed and undergo strict medical and psychological tests.
    No one is permitted to own more than six hunting rifles and one handgun.
    Firearms must be registered and inspected annually.

    Yet this is what they just found in Spain:

    The collection includes more than 10,000 assault rifles, machine guns, revolvers, pistols and 400 grenades and shells

    That's even more an arsenal than I have.

    How is this even possible since everyone of those weapons is illegal in Spain?

    Whoever runs that warehouse has a serious case of OCD, and a serious lack of respect for the destructive power of mortar bombs.

    Likely, these were Muslims wanting to arm their beloved terrorists, 5th column and other crooks.

    You don't need a 120mm Mortar to kill a deer.

    I'm all for the 2nd Amendment, but in places like Iraq, Syria and A-Stan, if our troops find anyone out of uniform with belt-fed heavy machine gun, mortar, RGP, gernade, IED or any other large military destructive device on their person or in their home.

    Kill them on the spot if they are over 16.

    You can buy them in the USA in semi-auto form. No permit or form required other than for any other firearm purchase. Just go to gunbrokers.com or search online. The price for a restored, functional 50 cal Browning in semi-auto form was $10,000 a couple of years ago. Probably wouldn't take make to convert them back to full auto. I have semi-auto 30.06 and .308 Brownings, entirely legal. One is set up with a handcrank as a Gattlin gun, also legal.

    The article stated the guns were initially disabled and purchased as non-functioning weapons. They were then machined back into operational form. If you look carefully, you will see some machining equipment.

    Lol, I only have to travel like 40 miles north, to my hood in Milwaukee, to realize gun control laws don't work.... I mean "work" meaning lessen crime.

    I can travel maybe 20 miles further to the south, to Chicago, & see the same.

    He (they) did.
    Otherwise such an Inventory could not be possible.
    Add a corrupt Government, you do not see that amount of Ordnance through ordinary means or converted Semiautos.

    There are similar caches of WWII and Soviet block weapons throughout the EU. It's one of the reasons I have said I could obtain a weapon quickly in nearly any country... just takes a bit of money and the sources can be found online if you know where to look.

    Another cherry picking fail. Should we repeal all laws and live in a state of total anarchy since it is always possible to find examples of people circumventing laws?

    Nope. Just the laws based on the inane idea that a law can prevent someone from breaking another law.
    The laws in place to punish people for their actions.are just fine.

    How does opposition to gun laws that aren't Constitutional, effective, enforceable and necessary translate into "repeal all laws"?

    No, your insane statement is a total fail.
    Everyday, I see certain people that are held in check by the penalties of Laws, not necessarly Criminals, they do whatever they can get away with, these are typically Democrats.
    Also staunchly Anti Gun, very few own Guns.
    There is only one solution,
    Put the Guilty People in Prison.

    That's one damn big 140mm cherry there.

    No.

    We should have a law against murder and crime.

    Then when that law is broken, people should be severely punished.

    Liberals just want laws without the punishment, which will never be effective, so they punish the only people they can: the ones who already obey the law.

    Gun laws are only laws to prevent you from breaking another law. Meaning they are mostly useless.

    The police seized his guns. He no longer owns those guns. So laws can indeed stop gun ownership.

    Try doing that to 400 million guns and at least 80 million gun owners who all hold their constitutional rights dear.
