Firearms sales could increase any amount and crime would not go up because it is law-abiding citizens who are buying most of these guns and they don’t commit crimes.
The US government ignores gun laws. They coerced legit guns dealers to break the law. They ran guns to Mexican drug cartels. In Benghazi they were coordinating aid (weapons)to Syrian opposition groups. I wouldn’t put it past these jokers to be running a domestic version of F&F.
