Why would it be a problem if the people who owned the house had the automatic weapons, If the people who owned the house owned automatic weapons then they could have defended themselves. If the weapons are illegal the law-abiding citizens won't have them, just the criminals will, making for easy targets.
One of the biggest reasons why gun control is bullsh*t. I mean some level of control yes... should a convicted felon be able to walk into a store and pick up a gun or 2? No, probably not... but why should I be prevented from doing so.
Edit: And yeah, I would love to move to NH, but as Ken as said quite a few times, all the border towns are expensive from other people like us thinking the same thing :banghead:
