Also, if you make guns illegal, the supply of guns will drop dramatically, regardless of the demand. Who is going to make new guns if their manufacturer and importation is illegal? It's not like the average criminal can create a handgun (or even a bullet) in his basement. Obviously, there will be existing guns floating around for a few decades, but I think most gun control advocates acknowledge that they really forsee a gun-free society 50-years down the road, and not 5-years.

Criminals already make home made guns.

Can you please cite an example of a murder where someone used a homemade handgun?...and I don't mean from a prepackaged gun kit. I remember a movie where John Malkovich builds a wooden handgun to evade security to assassinate the president, but I have never heard of an actual murder being committed with anything like this.

Hahaha. Earlier you cited a movie as a defense of your point. Now you're saying that stuff in the movies doesn't count!

Again, the fact that a criminal doesn't use a handmade gun *now* - when there are mass produced alternatives that are cheaper - doesn't say anything about what they'll do when the circumstances change.

I am capable of building my own radio. I've built working transmitters and recievers from parts scavenged from other appliances. But all of my current Ham gear is manufactured by someone else.

Also, FWIW, most of the really cutting-edge amateur radio technology is homebrew. It only later filters down to the mass producers. People in their basements are paving the way.

PS: the gun malkovich's character used was ceramic.
