Both my and the anti - gun faction do little to stop criminals and bad people from getting illegal source guns.
The anti gun people also keep good people from getting guns. They just make it so inconvenient many decide to forego jumping through the hoops and give up.

81 million Americans own firearms. 44% of Americans live in a household with at least one gun. 98% of all firearms in the US are in the hands of civilians. The average gun-owning American has five guns. A third of all civilian firearms in the world belong to Americans.
