But the vast majority of guns used in crimes in the US were legally manufactured. If we made guns illegal, the guns used in these crimes would never exist.

And some other gun would. This is like saying that well, gee, Coke makes most of the soda in the US, so if Coke were shut down by the government, nobody would have any soda. The world isn't static. Someone else will step up.

No, its like saying that if the government outlawed all soda, then nobody would have any soda...if soda were much more dangerous, harder to manufacture, and easier to detect.

You are claiming that guns would be just as easily obtained among criminals if they were illegal. Then why don't all criminals in Europe have guns? Do you think criminals in Europe simply don't like guns as much?

News flash: not all criminals in the US have guns.

You are clearly trying to evade my point. I would claim that a far smaller percentage of criminals in industrialized countries where handgun ownership is illegal own guns than do criminals in America. Are you actually going to dispute this? If you don't dispute this, then why is this?
