Can't change anything. I could literally drive 10 minutes to Camden,NJ or 15 minutes to North Philly and get pretty much any gun I desire within the next 20 minutes.

See you could make strict gun laws, but what's stopping someone from just getting one illegally?

Black market accessibility and prices make it significantly more difficult to obtain a gun than just strolling into a gunstore and purchasing an AR-15. Not an expert on criminal bartering, but I imagine you can't just casually buy something from a cartel with little to no difficulty, even if you are a criminal.

But a gun ban isn't even what most people are positing, so I'm not sure why this is even being discussed.

I agree that it's not easy to find an illegal gun dealer. Unfortunately I could get in contact with a few just by people I know.

It's not that much more expensive than a normal gun. Maybe double the price, if that.

I never brought up a gun ban. But it already takes me 3-4 months to get a gun legally here in NJ. You want to make that even longer wait time? No thanks, I'll just pay the extra thousand and get one myself. Like let's be real.

Okay, but anecdotal shit aside, it doesn't change the fact that the black market is substantially more monopolized and discriminatory.

Criminals respond to incentives. They're not stupid. Why make a tenuous deal with a mobster at a higher price when you can just as easily go down to your local Wal-Mart and purchase the same item.

So, I see that the US is trying to get back to the good times of the Old West, right?

wow long time no see

I really don't see how calling something a meme can be considered a legitimate counter-argument. I mean, yeah, there's the implication of it being popular due to group mentality, as memes generally are, but still I find it's a bit beside the point. Just say you don't like that person's idea, and elaborate on your reasoning for fuck's sake, please.

Don't tell me how to post, faggot.
