I do believe you are incorrect. Several organizations such as Handgun Control Incorporated would do just that. Consider the fact that it against the law to own many of the H+K weapons offered, and the FN's, etc. If I were a crimminal I would have a more difficult time stealing one or buying one black market (which is a good thing), but I could find a way to get one.
I am a law abiding citizen and I can never have one (Again, not that I need it), but I see no reason why I should be forced to wait to buy a handgun. I cannot buy a handgun out of state under the current laws without an enormous amount of favors and red tape.
If I were to visit Texarkana and for some reason needed to pawn a gun on the Arkansas side I could not go pick it up under our current system without paying a person with a FFL to have it shipped.
It's stupid things like that which require an organization to lobby for common sense in our knee-jerk over sensitive burocratic society.
And think of all those stupid "cash for guns" programs. They don't even care if you bring in stolen guns because nobody asks questions, you just produce a gun and get some crack money.
