Good points. I especially liked the Prohibition argument. We are a resourceful and wealthy nation. It would be relatively easy for the average American to make it worth the while of someone beyond our borders to provide guns. Also, tools like the Internet have only expanded the range of that power. Supply and demand, and with this being tied to our culture so strongly, I do not see how a simple ban would "help". I am confused on one issue however. I thought that what was on the table was a ban on selling additional handguns. Not making existing handguns unlawful to possess? Because trying to pass that second law is just crazy.

I don't KNOW though. Do you really think that stopping the sale of new handguns would be more harmful to the law abiding populice than it would be to the criminal element?
