Israeli UZI Model B, 9mm - a photo on Flickriver

            An Israeli IMI UZI submachine gun "short barreled rifle". This semi-automatic American import was banned in 1989 due to a ruling that, among other things, imported evil-looking "assualt weapons" cause crime. Some of the features banned from import in 1989 were bayonet lugs, flash hiding muzzle devices, tactical folding rifle stocks, and some weapons with more than 10 bullet capacity. In 1994, a US assault weapons ban stopped the creation of dometic guns featuring these evil parts. This ban ended in 2004, yet the import ban remains, making a true IMI Israel Uzi worth much more than it should be.

As of 2005, the most popular rifle in crime was the Marlin 60 sport .22 rifle, a simple, low power, quiet domestic gun available at Walmart and popular with children and target shooters. More gang shootings and 7-11 robberies are committed with .22 caliber weapons due to their quiet nature and cheap availability. Perhaps thugs don't have $1,400 to spend on a rare and legal means of firepower (OR they're afraid of the report of a centrefire gun). Banning UZI rifles and other evil assault weapons, by the way, did not even lessen gun crime.

The most popular "sniper rifle" in the world of killings performed through a scope is the Remington 760 Gamemaster 30.06 pump-action hunting rifle, which is equally mundane looking and even legal in the United Kingdom where even butter knives are murderous tools. 

Neither of the afformentioned weapons is black, evil, or $1600.00. 

The IMI UZI machine pistol has never been used in a significant crime in America (to this author's well-read knowledge), where as the Remington Gamemaster has killed multiple people of high stature, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
