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 havn't drank in several years but, when I did and was bar hopping in Idaho/Montana people a few times offered to get me automatics over a couple beers. My friends have often had simular experiences. In a more urban area I suppose I would check with my local drug dealer. They probably have more call for weapons than others.
Now this Holmes guy might not have looked normal enough to be trusted. I don't know. But if he had 6 months planning I just can't believe he wouldn't have found someone who wanted to make a buck.
