Criminals will always be able to obtain guns.
In the UK, firearm crime is extremely low (and usually in the london area, where smuggling usually occurs), because the government has managed to keep a very tight hand on firearm circulation.

So while you are technically correct, that is nowhere near enough a good reason to try and restrict thier access to them.

Criminals will always be able to obtain cocaine, biological weapons, and nukes. Does that mean we shouldn't bother trying to restrict them for accessing them as tightly as possible?
