As if import were the only way to get guns. I'm convinced that the further to the left anyone is the less they understand technology. Guns do not have to be made in a factory, and they involve no high tech methods. During WWII the British made Sten guns (a nasty little 9MM submachinegune) in basements and garages out of simple tubing and sheet metal with only the bolt being a machined part, and a simple one at that. The AK 47 is only slightly more complex. An average machinist could make a good living producing black market guns. I've even seen a picture of a working revolver that was made in a penitentiary machine shop while the guards weren't looking. Guns are just machines. A prohibition on them produces the same kind of black market that liquor prohibition did in this country once.

I guess the drug dealers are too honorable to import guns along with the drugs. I mean once guns are banned in the US all drug dealers will comply with the laws. And the Libs spout this nonsense with a straight face. All it will do is make a market for illegal imported or home made guns.
