As long as there is the insanely high profit motive with the drug war, there'll be a black market for firearms. Drug cartels are building freaking SUBMARINES to smuggle drugs for crying out loud. They absolutely would make their own firearms if guns were banned in the United States. Never mind the fact that there are currently somewhere around 300 million firearms in private hands today in the US. It would take well over 100 years to get all of those out of circulation if you were somehow able to ban them today. And chances are the 80 million armed Americans wouldn't allow the government to take those guns anyway.
