America's crime rate is also tied to lots of gang/cartel/syndicate type groups which either (a) follow the money, (b) just walk across the gigantic undefended border, and/or (c) developed as a massive side-effect of segregation and swallowed up whole communities in cyclical violence. And (d) not so much anymore, but prohibition and the widespread cultural glamorization of the bootleggers and smugglers who fed us booze is probably still having some impact on the crime landscape, even though that was a while back. But you can certainly draw parallels to modern drug policies.
Anywho. some gun stats for ya.
Just want you to know I'm not saying you're left or right wing, I meant anyone opposed to it.

That would be more than acceptable!
I live in America, school shooting is Tuesday here.
Don't get me wrong shes not the hottest VG girl I've ever seen, but shes no less ugly than Mass Effect 1 Ashley and if the only Ess Jay Dubyu thing about her is a short haircut then see Jack (ME2).

Mockery is always an appropriate response to hateful stupidity. The threat of homicide isn't armor.
@Andreyich I know that Kislev Winged Lancers have actual wings. What I said was going back to my thing on military units vs merc units and how that unless they were defectors they probably won't be having the full regalia.
As for the dwarves, I guess they could be a bunch of really independent young (by dwarven standards) beardlings from wealthy families who used their family's wealth to procure heavy armor and guns. I'm still unsure on full gromril though so how about this; your commander can have full gromril while the main bulk just has really finely crafted dwarven steel armor. Gromril is rare and is either reserved for the elite veteran units or has family herilooms and I'm not sure how much dwarven families would be willing to just give away such a valuable thing to a child who says he wants to find what most believe (including dwarves) to be a tavern story.

As long as they're wealthy children I could see that happening, being sort of like Kislevite Voland Venators. Not sure how I feel about them actually having the wings or the pistol. For the wings it could be that its their insigna but as for the pistol, I'd probably allow like one normal pistol. Handguns aren't cheap to begin with and repeater pistols would be even more so.

My main issue here isn't that what you're proposing is too powerful or whatever, is more that its straying really far from canon. Dwarves by nature take honor and oaths very seriously so even if they were ticked off their brothers were getting the good stuff, they would still stay loyal to the wishes of their family and holds. Ironbreakers/Irondrakes are also old, extremely elite warriors in expensive runic armor who also take their oaths extremely seriously and wouldn't think to go against their king's wishes. Dwarves don't think like humans in this case, they wouldn't just go do their own thing because they couldn't get some inheritance, especially if they are effectively elite honor guards in the military.
Even if they were shamed in battle or something, it is more likely they'd end up as Slayers and give up their equipment.
