Han, limiting legal guns has no effect on the number of guns in
criminal hands. You can buy a black market gun on many streetcorners
in any large city, and in most small ones. Your gun bans would only
limit the number of _defensive_ weapons in law-abiding citizens'
hands.

A significant number of firearms are stolen during break ins from legal
owners. While that certainly does not account for the totality of firearms
available in the US, it does count for many of them when examined a little
more closely. Your "no effect on the number of guns" is a false statement.

As usual, like many others, you adopt the mentality that there's so many
guns available that it's a waste of time trying to regulate them. Exactly
the same mentality is adopted with drugs. Legalizing everything is
tantamount to turning your entire country into the wild west where might
makes right.
