If there is a demand, there will be plenty of suppliers.
Guns are Power. There will always be a demand for Power.
Basic firearms technology hasn't changed in over 100 years. It's ALL simple 19th century technology.
Guns are very easy to make. The easiest is a single shot zip gun, I guess, but the second easiest is a STEN type submachine gun, like the Luty submachine guns shown in the previous post.
Guns are easily produced in tiny little workshops using hand tools and no electricity. Google Khyber Pass guns. Many decent quality guns are made in little shacks hidden out in the forest in the Phillipines.
There will always be suppliers. Guns are power.
As for ammunition, those same little workshops can easily produce brass cartridges: cases, primers, propellant, and projectiles. It's all no more than 19th century technology.
Primers are based on fulminate of mercury. A Scottish parson, Alexander Forsyth made his own fulminate when he invented percussion ignition in 1807. He was working in a squalid hovel with no electricity or running water.
1807.
If people can make methamphetamine, they can make fulminate and cordite.
Guns are Power. There will always be a demand for power. If something is in demand, a supplier will appear.
It is impossible to make guns go away.
People who don't work with their hands, who don't use tools daily, who don't make things... in other words, huge numbers of modern office workers, "journalists," academics, and politicians... such people tend to be oblivious to how readily other people can do and make and produce seemingly complex things.
Look around You Tube for videos on how to make fulminate of mercury, how to make a working AR 15 from a plastic cutting board, how to make a working AK 47 from an old shovel, how to make submachine guns from odd scrap found lying around the house...
There will always be plenty of guns and plenty of quality center fire ammo, though you should assume any black market ammo is corrosive and clean your home made machine gun thoroughly after each use.
