It's not being regulated or tracked right now anyway so what damage would that do? You know what happens when it goes underground? It becomes a criminal business, meaning that if you want a gun you can no longer step into a save store in bright daylight in a busy street. You'll have to go into a dark alley in the middle of the night where a very big black man with chains around his neck is going to sell you a gun for 50 times the old store price and may or may not shoot you after you paid him the money. Also being caught having a gun without a license would mean at least 1 year of jail time not to mention that you have no way of knowing if the gun was used in some holdup and is wanted by the feds. Any guesses as to what will happen if they find it with you?
Now I'm pretty sure that not a single petty burglar, nor any average Joe Smoe wanting to protect is property, is willing to go trough all that just to get a firearm. Firearm trade going underground is a GOOD thing, because it keeps the majority of the weapons OFF the streets and into the pants of said big bad black man. There's not any form of regulation, nor can the guns be tracked down. And we wouldn't be having this discussion right now if there WAS any kind of regulation.
