Yeah cause its just as easy for the average person to buy guns off the black market than at a local sporting good store?
Where's your black market at? How do you get a hold of them? Do you walk into the ghetto and start shouting you're looking to buy some guns? Do you walk into some shady asian restaurant in chinatown and ask around? Seriously, how is the average person going to find a black market arms dealer?
Stupid, stupid argument.
The
ease of purchasing guns directly correlates to how often gun incidents can happen.
Sure we can't stop someone from researching how to make homemade bombs. That is a different argument.
But to suggest the average person can just as easily acquire a gun from the black market is a very dumb argument. Surprised it has been made several times in this thread already since it is fairly obvious that it is much, much harder for the average person to find guns via this route vs a gun shop/sporting good store/etc.
Making guns much, much harder to acquire would reduce violent gun incidences no?
