Gun laws, when enforced, are effective at stopping random psychos from getting assault rifles to shoot up schools etc. But organized crime gangs that are already breaking the law to smuggle contraband have the means, the motive and the opportunity to acquire guns illegally.
- chrisco255 3y agoYou don't really have to be an organized gang to acquire a firearm illegally.
- resolutebat 3y agoThat depends very much on the country. In places like Japan or Singapore, it would be next to impossible for an average Joe to acquire an illegal firearm, unless they're willing to smuggle it in from overseas themselves.
- chrisco255 3y agoI guess. To be honest this is mostly a cultural trait of compliance. The laws didn't stop Shinzo Abe's killer from making a homemade gun from pipes. Guns aren't really that fancy. It's 13th century technology and fairly trivial to construct.
