User blog comment:MichaelDiaz101/Michael's Rants: Making Guns illegal is STUPID!/@comment-1824274-20121215185459

But if we outlaw guns, then how would we defend ourselves from the impending zombie apocolypse?? Nah jk, but think about this: The last time we outlawed something that the Constitution granted us the freedom to have (alcohol) in the 1920's, organized crime skyrocketed. Al Capone and the mafia started smuggling alcohol into America, speakeasies opened up everywhere, and people found a way around this ban. It was a miserable failure. How can outlawing guns be any different? Secret gun stores would open up like the backroom gun shops in GTA IV, and people will always find a way around the ban. Even if law enforcement take those backroom places down, people can bribe law enforcement, politicians, or even militarymen to turn a blind eye or even provide guns to them! What we have learned over the years, is that history tends to repeat itself.
