Market forces - as proven through history - would drive up the price of existing guns to ridiculous levels. The next thing would be the manufacture of illegal guns.
Do you know what is the simplest - by far - repeating firearm that can be constructed?
Full auto submachine guns.
Guess what the gangbangers would be toting????

Funny thing about that - countries that have taken steps to limit the number of guns in private hands don’t seem to be terrorized by gangs of thugs toting fully automatic submachine guns.

Why would they when cheaper guns are available?
Do you know how to build a gun? From sctatch?
I know I could. I know at least a dozen guys who could. It is NOT rocket science. Any good machinist could build a gun - and the simplest is a sub-gun. Look at the complexity of a Bren, a Sten, a Mac10 or M2 sub gun. They contain the fewest pieces of any repeater. A revolver is by comparison a much harder build requiring much more complicated, specialized machine tooling.
