Stealing is the problem. Address the reasons why people steal, and they won’t buy a tank to destroy a bank vault.

I’m very surprised. It is an interesting point of view and I agree ont he various aspects of the underlying causes of gun violence. Restricting the guns won’t deal with the issues. Although I am surprised at the blanket approval you seem to give. With no controls, a hobbyist could buy a tank which could be stolen and used for violent crimes, or an artillery gun. Both capable of destroying a bank vault at quite a stand-off. For the pursuit of the interests you listed magazine sizes in +30 plus capacities are not required by my understanding of firearms. If I can’t hit it once with 30 rds another 420 isn’t going to do me much good.
