(2,720 posts)blue warrior: The number of crimes committed with illegally converted, full auto weapons must be astronomically low. Do you have any numbers to support your insinuations?
Your remark is oxymoronic. You are saying that the number of crimes committed with illicit converted automatic weapons is 'astronomically low', which means a very large number at a low end. Ergo you contradict yourself.
informal (of an amount) extremely large.
adverb: enormously ("The bill was astronomically high"
enormously or inconceivably large or great astronomical numbers an astronomical price

Perhaps you meant microscopically low. Makes more sense, sorta, nah, doesn't make sense either. Neither word is apt, illicit SA rifles converted to full auto or select fire auto exist, are rare, and are surely used more than microscopically low either in crimes or illicitly.
Ha, maybe you are indeed spot on, & they are used at an astronomically low rate!
