if people buy more guns, then you turn it into a war rather than peace and the only people to profit are the shareholders of the companies.
the amnesty international has data saying that every year 1 million legally purchased guns go missing - what do you think it happens to them? they are being held by criminals now. That is the loophole being used for a lot of abuse outside of your country.
the lack of regulation in manufacturing, ownership and selling of guns is what's causing this, all the guns in the hands of civilians, criminals and terrorists have the same source.
regulation can't stop people from being stupid, but it can restrict the extent of the consequences.
and as for reading, there's a link up there for you to read.

So, does this mean that the criminals wouldn't be able to purchase guns through the dishonest folks who'd be able to legally purchase them?
Do you have any idea how things actually work? The world isn't quite as fucked up as you seem to think, it's MORE fucked up.
If there was NO way to purchase them, they'd be illegally manufactured. Guns are NOT difficult to make. VERY simple technology. I suggest you look into that, then you might realize this is hardly an issue worth debating.
