37. If there is no law which is effective in preventing gun trafficking, obviously, we do.

I'd be interested in reading a list of those 21,000 laws. Can you provide it?

I'd hate to think it was a number somebody just made up and you believed it with no proof. Was it just a guesstimate someone made up because there are about 20,000 towns in the US and if each town had one law we'd be around 20,000?
