From the manufacturers point of view that's not their purpose at all, their purpose is to be traded for money. The manufacturers don't care if we -did- use them as paperweights, they'd advertise them to retailers as the best damned paperweights money could buy, that everyone wants and no one can get enough of.
If I wanted to curb the amount of illicitly purchased firearms in the US, I wouldn't crack down on manufacturers. I'd crack down on retailers. Strangely enough, the big boys aren't the problem here. It's John Q Gunshop.....who thinks that he's somehow immune to both law and best industry practice because he has a right that he's clearly misunderstood, or that the law is unlikely to ever get around to holding him accountable. We give John Q every reason to think either or both of these two things.
How about background checks, no exceptions, anyone found breaking this law does hard time as an arms smuggler, full seizure of assets......because that's what they actually are. We shoot those guys overseas on sight....
