And look at the countries with strict gun control laws that do have high firearms crime problems like Brazil and Mexico. Or the countries with relatively lax gun laws and extremely low gun crime rates like Switzerland and the Czech Republic.

That information is all very out of touch with the current state of 3d printed firearms. While the barrel is still the crucial part holding them back, there are many 3d printed guns which require no registered parts such as the FGC-9 and can be built using regular pipes and springs from a hardware store inside a 3d printed frame

Brazilian gangs are famous for making their own guns from pipes and scrap metal, they don’t buy them from the US.

The fact is that guns really aren’t that complicated and anyone with basic engineering and machining knowledge can make one with hand tools. Sure it won’t be accurate or reliable but you don’t need either of those things to rob an unarmed civilian.
