How would criminals have any guns if the government just stops allowing them?

This whole "I need a gun to feel safe cause criminals have guns" theory just blows my mind. But there's too much money involved in outfitting these criminals with guns, and the goverment isn't truly going to stop it, because they're part of it.

*Oh and someone asked why it doesn't seem to be as big a deal up here in Canada as it is down in the US. I believe the #1 reason it isn't is because our Canadian government doesn't make billions a year in gun trade. It's much easier to make a stand against guns when your pocket isn't being filled by the profit from them.

Everyone knows the best guns come from Germany. No one forces us to buy it's our demand that drives the market NOT the other way around. The federal government cannot stop it. People who don't live here or people who live here and try to stop it don't understand the constitution. Or at least take a different interpretation of the amendment. It's not a big deal in other countries because they lack that freedom (or curse depending on your view). I personally see it as a freedom with limitations that can be posed by state regulations, except total public banning. Which would not be constitutional.
