This isn't an issue for criminals now because there are so few criminals. An effective armed resistance however, would cause an "influx of criminals" as you say, making guns a limiting resource and would thus make an effective armed resistance impossible. If there was an increase in demand for guns, the market would increase the supply to meet it. Only in a free market. What's more likely is that the price of these guns would increase, pushing poorer people out of the rebellion. An underground black market is by definition a free market - it's all based on illegal transactions so there are no regulations. Also, any armed rebellion on a national scale would have to have some amount of organization and resources. Individual people would most likely not be paying out of their own pockets for guns, their organization would be subsidizing at least some of the cost. --- Besides, marijuana is far more harmful than steroids. - BlitzBomb I headbang to Bruckner. <cite>Not_an_Owl posted [p:890451030] in Politics C...
