Illegal guns are still a problem, just waiving your hand and saying they aren't to support your argument is in your own words wrong.

I think I read somewhere that 85% of gun crimes in the U.S. are done using illegal guns. Its the ones that are getting the most media attention that have been committed using legal guns.

Both are significant problems and both need to be dealt with

Edit: this was pointed at Duffman who in one of his statement said that the problem is with people legally being able to buy guns. One of the real interesting side effects of legal purchasing are people who make a lot of money as Straw buyers.
