You can't have it both ways. You can't say that high prices are what would make gun imports viable AND simultaneously claim that prices would fall. Either gun control would inflate street prices, therefore cutting down gun access, or it wouldn't.
If it were so easy to bring in illegal gun shipments via shipping containers, then there wouldn't be so much drug smuggling in pockets and stomachs and backpacks. Drugs are FAR more valuable than guns and much easier to hide, yet how often does someone import their drugs via shipping containers? There are a number of enormous risks that you're exposing yourself to when you do that, and guns are too large for their value to be easily worth it.
Regarding the drugs its because vast majority comes over land from Mexico. And if you don't think they're not using trailers that come across bringing produce and other shyt like that you're very naive.
On your first point you really need to study up on basic laws of supply and demand. What I said was if tomorrow a law was passed that severely limited gun ownership rights in the same way that they did in Australia, you would first see a rise in the street price ( supply all of a sudden low and demand high). And just like any other product, when prices and demand are high you will all of a sudden see more people entering the market as sellers. Once guns start flooding the market again (because demand will always be high), prices will drop.
Not sure why this is hard to understand. You see this happen all the time.
