I have posted exactly one thing. A small section in the Gun Politics in the United States that addressed the economic issues concerning gun politics including the illegal manufacturing and sales of firearms in the black market. DiligenceDude, Celeste and Grahamboat decided that my having a reference for every single line except one wasn't good enough and they deleted it. DilgenceDude posted that my reference to the United Nations treaty on the illegal manufacturing and market in guns did not address the United States specifically it wasn't a useful source. DiligenceDude obviously didn't read the treaty since it does address the political issues of the black market manufacturing and sales of firearms in the United States and how it affects other nations. I have no use for people who censor issues for personal ideological reasons. Having an article on the politics of a specific issue without addressing the economics is ridiculous. Allowing censors like DiligenceDude, Celeste and Grahamboat results in an inaccurate source of information. Without information people can't make good decisions. Censorship is designed to control and invalidate the decision making process and wikipedia is doing a great job of that.
I assume this page and my account will be deleted or edited by ideological censors which will prove my point.
Economics[edit]
The market in firearms is governed by the economic law of supply and demand. As long as there is a demand and resources to provide for that demand there will be a supply. When societies attempt to control free markets through regulation black markets in the regulated commodities are developed. [1]. The best modern age example of black market manufacturing of firearms and ammunition is the construction of secret factories by the Israelis during the British Occupation. [2]. To address the growing problem of the black market manufacturing in firearms the United States entered into the The Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials treaty. [3] The global spread of black market firearm manufacturing is becoming so problematic that it has resulted in the UN protocol against the illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms.[4]
