That is irrelevant. When certain items are invented, there will be a demand for them by the public. Such demand can either be met by the government under certain conditions, or denied, causing a black market to appear for such items. It happened with alcohol during the prohibition, and it's happening in England with guns.
We can go on and on about how it would have been better had these things not been invented, but they were, and we have to deal with it. How something got invented is meaningless when it has been invented and is being used by people. There will always be people in a society who act against society's rules, and these are the people who we don't want to have the guns yet are more likely to actually get them.
