29. Who can toss out a red herring?
Evidently, you. (Red herring: http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/mathew/logic.html)

What does your post have to do with the fact that, even if the legal supply of firearms is cut off entirely, those who seek to acquire firearms illegally will continue to do so, and others continue to supply them? Even the imposition of a total police state will not alter that fact. Organized crime in China gets all the guns it wants straight from the factory, thanks to shoddy inventory control and corruption. If somebody made it worth their while, they'd probably be happy to smuggle them to overseas markets, too.
