I have never made any comments regarding North Korea. For the record, I think they're horrific. On the other hand, you have declared a fondness for Somalia in the past.
I think Somalia is horrific, too. However, I think Somalia is nowhere near as bad as it's portrayed to be, and I think it has great potential, considering its economy is growing at a faster rate than that of its neighbors.
Try to not to resort to fiction so much in your arguments.
You first.
Well, the baddies will get their guns either way. It's the goodies that we need to get guns to, so they can defend themselves against the baddies. At least until the culture changes. Focus on changing the culture, first.
No. The baddies get their guns because the gun lovers want a market for guns.

Not true. The baddies get guns in Europe where guns are restricted, and even in Japan, where all guns are banned. There is always a market for guns. Everywhere.
You seem to fail that a large majority of non gun owners don't want a gun, nor feel the need for a gun. It's only gun lovers who keep calling for more guns, which translates to more guns for criminals.
You seem to fail that a large majority of non gun owners don't want a gun and don't need a gun, because they don't need a gun. Not because "not needing a gun" translates to lower crime, but because they are already living in low crime areas. Some part of he population does want a gun, and actually does need a gun. Just because a large majority of the population does't need something does not mean that everyone should be forced to not have something. And criminals wll always get guns regardless.
