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?

I dont wanna get involved in all this stuff, but you have NO idea of which you speak when it comes to the bolded part.
I lived there for 11 years, but because i never became a citizen i was not allowed to purchase any firearms legally (not that i tried).
However, I had no shortage of ways to get a hold of pretty much anything i wanted had i chosen too. (and i mean anything from 6 shooters to Ak's)And no its not running down the street of some "ghetto" or anything like that. You seem to have some belief that "black market" means shady people selling them only, and that is entirely and completely not the case.
Guns are everywhere in the US, in ALL levels of classes and have been for generations....which is why "gun control" as most think of it, simply will never ever work in the USA.
