Default Re: More guns the way to go? Some thoughs.

Why would there be more homemade guns in the US if handguns were illegal than there are in other industrialized countries with gun control?

I haven't made that claim. It's easier right now to import guns than to make them. But if magically all guns manufactuers are shut down (of course, the government will still get guns somehow, but let's not worry about details, right?) then people will start making them. It's all about division of labor, comparative advantage. The laws of economics don't simply disappear because of violent intervention.
