^It's much easier to get your hands on illegal firearms if they are also legally attainable. Also, guns can't do much damage without bullets, which are even easier to get a hold of legally.

 

First all, you cant get ILLEGAL anything LEGALLY. That was just a sillyu statement. Also I am fairly certain you have to have a permit etc etc to get the ammo. Even then, people don't use legal firearms for crime, either they are stolen, or smuggled in. Both forms are ILLGEAL. The people who sell the guns, don't buy them legally. There is a database of everyone that owns a gun. If you are found buying 15 pistols everyweek, you will be arrested.

 

OK here I'll draw it out for you. If they are legal then they can be sold. If they can be sold then there are more businesses making them. Same with the ammunition. If they were illegal for the general population, except for some very rare situations like hunting or sport, then there would be far less guns produced. Also it's far harder to keep track of guns produced by individual companies that can dessiminate them at will than if they were solely making guns for the government. It comes down to the fact that there is a much bigger supply of guns when they are a legit business than if not, thus expanding the overall count of guns, legal or illegal.

 

If you noticed, I said the government watches those lists. For many reasons, you buy too many guns. You get arrested. Or thhey atleast look into it. its not like one person can buy hundreds of guns
