Sadly if someone wants a gun its not too hard as there are criminal elements who are willing to provide guns for a small cost.
The law is trying to keep it under control but is failing due to many factors including the willingness of youngsters to pay for these to look "cool"
With more open boarders it seems that the criminal elements of society have found it easier to bring guns into the country, and this is one of the factors, (not the only factor), for increase in the availability of guns.
Hope that helps and good luck.

Gun control laws dont stop criminals from getting firearms. They jut hinder the ownership of firearms for leagle citizens

One word - Black market! You make something illegal to own and instantly the black market demand and supply surges.

you ban something, you make a perfect opportunity for a black market to start...look at Prohibition in the US.
