That's it. If scumbags want a means to perform in their trade (to impose, intimidate, or kill), they will get it. If a gun can't be bought over the counter, it will be bought under the counter. If not bought, it gets stolen. If it can't be stolen, it will home manufactured. If they can't make a gun, they use a knife, or imaginatively (though sadly), hire a lorry (even cheaper when you don't take out insurance...)
