That'd just open up the market for China. Or Russia. Ceasing exports would do nothing to alleviate violence. They'd just buy their guns from somewhere else. If an embargo on weapons exists it would have to be a global thing.

Yeah they're going to get their weapons somewhere - we might as well make some $$$$ off of them, right?

That's how dealers morally justify selling smack to teens when one of them OD's, Livia. Literally. I've heard them.
