ummmm no the kind of rifles being talked about. a true 'assault rifle" is a full auto. cost: 35k The ones you by at the sporting goods stores are just plastic wrapped rifles to look like the auto ones. They are semi-auto.
You've never bought a gun in your life, have you? Semi-auto AKs are literally the same as a full-auto, with a slightly different receiver. They are old stock from Russia, not 'plastic wrapped rifles'.
Kalashnikovs grow on trees. The full-auto Pre-May-1986 configurations cost $15k at the MOST and you can get them anywhere in a $200 tax stamp state. They are cheap bullet-throwers, not at all accurate, and actually kind of shit. You can find them much cheaper if you know where to look.
AK-47s are also not the cheapest full-auto weapons you can buy. There are a few here and there that go for the 1-2 grand range.
I don't have prices. I know Jim Jeffries did a bit about black market rifles some time ago. He said an M16, or similar weapon, would go for about $34,000 on the black market. I don't know where he got that number.
As for logistics: there are plenty of ways. Off the top of my head: dead drops, non-government post boxes (like UPS Store, etc) with a fake ID. There are ways.
Well we'd have to create some sort of tool which has a very sharp edge for which general use in the human hand is possible. Such a tool would change the world.
Knives are better close range weapons and are easily available. Lightweight too. Just run after the fucks and knife them, then get up and chase another one down. Most people don't carry guns.

Number one murder weapon in America: the hammer....

You don't need to get one from the black market. $500-2500 at a sporting goods store.

Knives also tend to be symbolic to the psychopath and leave little to no ballistic clues

Right. Most people don't have assault rifles. This is an unfair comparison.

Mostly because they are stupidly expensive, even the legal ones. The black market ones are obscenely expensive.

Ban all meat!
Then you're going to ask, "How do I cut my vegetables?"
STOP BEING SELFISH.

What does it matter what type of gun was used? There was still only 1567 knife murders compared to 8124 gun murders.

A knife has "infinite ammo". ;)
