its no different than saying that if we ban assault rifles, some people will always find a way to get them. No doubt. But if you make it harder, there will certainly be fewer of them. I don’t believe monitoring and regulating gun shows is easier than banning them at all.

What would stop people from selling their guns online or in private transactions. Which is done with far more frequency than gun shows. Do we monitor them and start arresting those that don’t comply with a law banning all private sales of weapons? Then we’ll have more people in the courts and in prisons many of which will be good and decent folks. We would have to expect 100 percent compliance from the population. I think we’d wind up with another situation like the war on drugs.
