140. you keep saying this
Since criminal use of guns exist even in UK, which involves machine guns more, can't blame us.

Can you offer some sources? I don't doubt for a moment that you have them, so I'm sure you will be happy to share.

I only hope you aren't relying on things like, oh, newspaper headines ...

Cousins were killed in hail of machine-gun bullets ... who knows ...

Conviction in machine gun murder
Having forced his way in Callum produced a Mac-10 automatic weapon he had concealed in his jacket chased the group up to the second floor landing and fired at least three shots at them.
... who knows ... was it really automatic? Either way, do you know where it came from?

Now this one does look legit:
Gang who plotted machine gun murder of Eccles shopworker facing life behind bars
The gunman was told to damage the shop or injure one of the owners.

But he mistook Nasar Hussain for the target and killed him by mistake as he struggled to control the 600-rounds-a-minute machine gun he had been supplied with.

Mr Hussain was serving a customer when the gunman entered the shop at 8.50pm with a machine gun hidden in a paper bag. Customers dived for cover as Henderson opened fire.
... I mean, unless one of our resident gun afficionados can pick that apart as they are sometimes wont to do.

Hey, machine guns in my home town, too:
Rare machine gun in suspect’s car
LONDON, Ont. - London police found a rare Second World War-era machine gun in a car carrying the suspect in a downtown shooting.
... but the thing actually used in the murder the accused was associated with was a handgun ...


Anyhow, anyhow. Who is this "us" that no one can blame? The NRA? That's what the question was about.
