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?

So you are saying that gun running isn't an ongoing, profitable venture? Why do people do it then? Sounds like you are just making another illogical argument here. What T99 is saying is that there is a market for firearms. Simply making firearms illegal does not kill off this market. Exact same thing goes for any illegal substance. If there are people that are willing to pay for it, then you will have people that are willing to sell it illegally.
