But if you ban legal guns the places where they'd be getting illegal guns from would dry up a lot! Where do you think all those illegal guns come from? Sure, many would still get it, but the numbers would be much less... no guns to steal from people, fewer guns in gun stores to manage to get into illegal circulation... really, its not that hard to figure out...

And yes, in some ways its easier to get illegal weapons, at least in cities... but still. Crack down on all the guns and illegal ones would be limited in use too! Why is that so hard to understand?

...you honestly think illegal weapons were honestly purchased somewhere down the line? There are so many guns out there, so many illegal guns out there, that even if you banned legal guns, there would still be an incredibly ample supply for the black market for decades. Banning guns may stop production of new guns but it won't make all the millions of currently existing guns disappear.

And of course, your naivete shows through again, as you seem to have no idea just how many already-illegal weapons are used in drug crimes, like Uzis, AKs, and the like, many, many of them handguns... handguns that ALREADY ARE NOT LEGAL HERE. How would a gun ban eliminate those, Professor?
