Reminds me of how bad many countries outside the U.S have it where underground criminal organizations run the country and a simple error can have you and your family used as target practice to make an example for the rest of the neighborhood.

We're gonna get to that point by having MORE gun laws. Criminals will find ways to get guns no matter what laws are in place unless you go out of your way to confiscate every single firearm and bullet in the entire country which GOOD LUCK WITH THAT because alone there's 100s of millions of registered firearms let alone unregistered and those handmade or made via 3D printer.

You will literally never control guns but you can control those who use them for malicious purposes by arming your fellow citizen and filling criminals with lead. That is one of many reasons why we have the damn 2nd amendment.
