The arms business is very profitable. When enterprises earn money, their tax revenue will increase, so the second beneficiary is the US government.
This becomes: the United States allows guns, opens its market and serves capitalists; At the same time, capitalists come back to enjoy the benefits with the government.
Of course, additional benefits:
First of all, the competitive market promotes the diversification of American light weapons and helps to improve their scientific and technological content.
The second is to make American-made weapons modular and universal. For example, picatinny rail is a modular platform.
Third, the arsenal provides more employment opportunities.
Of course, it will also bring some negative effects:
First, the management of light weapons is chaotic.
The second is to improve the death rate of crime.
Third, the number of impulsive crimes in the United States is significantly higher than that in developed countries that ban guns.
In fact, on the whole, it is generally believed that the disadvantages of opening the gun market outweigh the advantages. In fact, the U.S. Congress tried several times to ban guns, but it failed to implement them because of the pressure of arms dealers and the opposition of some Americans.
