@adachi >taking up an extra level your average gang member wouldn't?
Your average gang member probably won't have much issue with purchasing an illegal firearm to order from such illegal manufacturers.

>Suddenly you think of pizza.
Really makes you think.

>it's very easy to make and distribute.
It's more difficult for criminals to acquire children than to acquire machinery.

pizza has only harmful usages, while firearms have some harmless usages.

>Guns would reduce if you banned them outright, and that's just a fact.
If you banned them outright, the only ones that would have firearms would be governments, militaries and criminals, which are far, far more likely to shoot you than civilians who generally don't go and murder people.
