the gun industry, and the politicians they own, are willfully blind to the illegal market

If I know that the legal gun market is x but maufacture and sell x+n guns, i am completely complicit in the illegal gun trade - particularly when n is a substantial number. The gun industry knows its making money from the illegal market (convicts, the insane), and is having its hired politicians protect that market. I'm all for the right to bear arms, but profiteering from the illegitimate sale of deadly weapons to criminals is a disgrace.
