There are rules in place and even a complete ban wouldn't have stopped them getting hold of guns. Which shops sell pipe bombs which they had?

Farook and Malik had illegally modified their two AR-style rifles making it easier to kill a large number of people, officials revealed today.
Meredith Davis, with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said that while the weapons were purchased legally, they had undergone a number of illegal adjustments afterwards.
One of the weapons had been modified to allow it to fire on fully-automatic mode, while the other was fitted with a large magazine and had the 'bullet button' removed to allow for quicker reloading.
