Guns also aren't limited to being produced in this country. To close all illegal gun trafficing you'd have to: A) confiscate and melt down all illegal, stolen, etc guns within the borders of the country. B) Shut down all illegal smuggling. Not allow outside guns within the borders of the country. C) Write laws to ensure that no gun may be sold without proper licenses and checks. D) Take away guns purchased legally by citizens of this country. Then maybe. Just maybe guns will no longer be a problem here.
