       This is a generally applicable rule when markets are driven   
   underground by legislative fiat. It matters not whether one is   
   talking about drugs, guns, sex or even organic food. It seems that   
   governments do not like competition very much so by demonizing some   
   entity, they may protect some monopoly, but will also create a   
   black market. Drugs are a very good example of this. The fact that   
   people can get "illicit" drugs easily demonstrates that the market   
   always works. The other side of the coin is that the existence of a   
   black market serves as an excuse for governments (all of which are   
   by definition corrupt) to seize more power over their citizens/serfs   
   and thus further erode civil liberties. In fact, I'm thinking that   
   the currently popular attack on RKBA by the Obama crowd will simply   
   mean that some really strange people will finally find it compelling   
   to get their hands on some truly nasty weaponry.....thus leading to   
   another bid at more power for the ferals....   
      
       And to the poster complaining about "Hispanics destroying their   
   host country", you really need to look to D.C. for that particular   
   appellation. Destruction of the economy is an internal affair.   
      
      
   --   
   When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to   
   its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you   
   are forbidden to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no   
   matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a   
   man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can   
   control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not   
   fission bombs, - not anything - you can't conquer a free man; the most   
   you can do is kill him.
