That is probably true. One can almost surmise from that, that government creates an outlaw population in order to protect the people from it, thereby justifying its salary. How much quicker can you create an outlaw population than by passing laws and using force to deny a person the right to self-defense, in essence, denying them the right to life.
Many people will give up that right because life isn't that precious to them. They will be meat for the outlaw's table and not utter a peep. Worse, they will call for government to place further restrictions on weapons, falsely believing that outlaws obey the law.
So who profits from gun laws? Certainly not the people. Only the outlaws and government. They must be in cahoots.
PS: Gun laws have insured that the only class of people that have equality, and can practice their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in America are those that are armed. The gun maintains the playing field in a nation of peaceful and mannerly Sovereigns.
