Anyone who has ever done a drug deal will find doing a gun deal equally easy should guns become outlawed.
It's criminals and nut-jobs Rochard. Not the pieces of steal.

All countries have criminals, insane people, and nut jobs. The difference is we allow them easy access to fire arms.
I also believe the American culture has a lot to do with this also. We have some people in the United States who are gun nuts. Some of these people believe the government is going to come after them, or that we need to defend ourselves from our government, even though there has never been a history of this. Even if you take firearms out of the equation, these people are still downright scary.
Then we hand these people weapons. It's easier (and almost cheaper) to buy a firearm than it is to get a driver's license.
I'm not saying we need to change the Constitution. I'm not saying we need to trample on anyone's rights. We just need a reasonable approach to prevent the wrong people from getting firearms.
