If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will ... oh, you know the rest. The point is that the only people who will honor gun control laws are those you don't need to worry about.
The DOJ's Bureau of Justice Statistics produced a report summarizing the results of a survey among prisoners asking about gun possession and use. One of the most interesting tables tells us where they said they got their guns. About half of the guns were stolen or obtained from a friend or relative. Table 5 can be seen below.
The full report, published in January 2019 -- Source and Use of Firearms Involved in Crimes: Survey of Prison Inmates, 2016 -- can be downloaded here: Link, PDF.
