There's a similar argument to the whole issue of smoking bans. Obviously it would be in people's best interests not to smoke, but the revenue created from sales is so great that what would happen if that were to suddenly stop?

Unfortunately, commerce is such a huge factor, it can't be underestimated. It's a no-brainer to state that less guns=less killing. But less guns also=less revenue.

EDIT: And we're ALL a part of this kind of society, so there's no use having a 'them and us' attitude when it comes to capitalism.
