People spend many hundreds of dollars, if not thousands, to buy cameras
so they can shoot people. Then after shooting someone all they get is a
photograph. Thats a lot of money to spend for a lousy photograph.

If you want to shoot people, BUY A GUN. You can buy a gun for much less
money than a camera, and guns are much more effective. When you shoot
someone with a gun, you get more than a photograph, you actually get to
take their life. And lives are always more valuable than pictures.


Cheap guns from Eastern Europe or Brazil sometimes cost less than cameras. Good guns generally cost as much or more.


If you're going to take the OP seriously, which I can't really think
of any reason to do, I think one would have to compare good gun prices
with equivalent cameras. how about a FF DSLR with pretty much any
mainstream, high quality gun? There is a huge number of options under
1K.

Of course.

When is it open season or is there none?


It's always open season. We're talking murder here. There's no rules.

Or do you need a license at all times?


To kill? Very Bondish.

In a hidden folder.
