Who will buy them from the underground, and black market? Law abiding or those with impure thoughts and intentions?

Since when does gun "control" equate to flat out outlawing of all fire arms?


I also thought the vast majority of gun owners were "law abiding citizens"? So even if guns were ever outlawed, most people would be law abiding.

A law banning guns would be unconstitutional. As citizens, we have the right, indeed the duty, to ignore unconstitutional laws.

Again, since when does gun control equate to a ban of all firearms? Gun loons fail to see the gray area between the black and white.

Actually, both

Sometimes bad laws, are meant to be broken.

But, any time you have prohibition, it's the bad guys that make all the money.
It happened with alcohol, it's happening with marijuana and other drugs,
and it already happened with weapons because of the two above.

OH, and why is there STILL a ban on INDUSTRIAL HEMP.

The question I was answering, that was asked by you, was "So even if guns were ever outlawed, most people would be law abiding." I don't think I was being unreasonable assuming you meant "all" in that comment.

Now, if you wish to suggest something specific regarding "gun control", I'm happy to give you my opinion about it.

Banning anything just drives it underground.
It's not an argument against it.

Just because people can traffic drugs, does not mean they would ever traffic in guns, especially if those guns were made illegal to sell or to purchase.
