ANY desirable commodity that is banned can and will be procured. Gangs and violent criminals will get guns.
Yet, this hasn't played out in Japan
The drug ban is evidence of that reality.
I just outlined how drugs are different than guns. You are free to disagree with that argument, but to be effective you will need to actually address it, not simply dismiss and ignore it
