34. You seem to think that US Customs is effective
They can't keep drugs out, so how would they keep guns out? No dog can sniff out an un-fired or well-cleaned gun. They smell like drill presses and washing machines, just steel and oil.

Without a "fence" around the country, the arms will come in to meet demand. Even with a fence.

And no, the police are not in the business of defending people from criminals. They're in the business of gathering evidence and arresting people AFTER the fact. Very rarely do they stop a crime.
