it's the prohibition argument, the argument stemmed from the prohibition era in which America banned all alcoholic substance and made it's ownership and use illegal, only for that ban to spectacularly fail as no one followed it as alcohol was a part of society since before America was founded, so it was repealed a few years later as if they are going to do it anyway might as well tax them for it. The problem is whether that argument can be applied to gun control
