Disenfranchised minorities. I mean the Panthers literally started California gun control.
Though I think more gun control is no doubt better for society.
Criminals already don't follow the law; that's why they're considered criminals. Why would those who need weapons care about or follow gun control laws? How's that working out for the war on drugs in the US?
Assuming x percentage of legally acquired guns can be diverted to illicit means.
Less overall Availability of guns means less overall availability of guns in the illicit market.
