Thats why there is a time limit, a few years, before you can buy a second handgun (or any other gun respectively). There would be little interest to acquire a single handgun legally to re-sell it, the profit wouldn't be that high. You buy a $130 handgun and re-sell it for $200 (to make it affordable to someone in a desperate enough situation that he/she would be willing to break the law), all this guy would have made is $70 dollars, and if he gets busted he'll go to jail for 5 or more years. Here, the risk isn't worth it. While someone buying 20 handguns at $130 dollars ($2600 total) and then selling them for $200 each would make $4000, a better risk for someone of criminal intent.
As I said in the edit, was a mistake. I read everything, then walked off to take a piss, got back, and didn't bother re-reading it all, just quickly skimmed them. By time I posted, the ideas got mangled in my exhausted mind.

Thanks for the quick lesson in Entrepeneurship, multiplication, and addition though!
