There are laws against weed all over the place...does that stop it from getting grown, processed, and sold? No.
Why would it do anything differently for guns? Manufacturers would still make them, sell them in a country where they are legal and then smuggle them into the USA where everyone who buys one is then a criminal. It's being going on forever with contraband of all kinds....but somehow, make guns illegal and people will stop acquiring them? Makes no sense.

Ridiculous comparison.
Anyone can grow weed. Making guns and ammunition is a little more specialized.
People consume weed. They buy it, smoke it and then buy more. Selling it is an on going profitable venture.
Most sane people aren't going to be buying guns on a regular basis. Selling guns is not an on going profitable venture unless you can recruit new customers on a regular basis.
And from your logic, I'd assume that you feel other things like child pornography should be legalized as well since we can't stop it from being bought and sold?
