If they make guns illegal, they'll just go away, right? It's not like someone could manufacture and sell guns to prohibited persons. That would be illegal!

I've told people myself, that modern firearms were made over a hundred years ago. If they can be made 100 years ago, they can be made today.

"Police say Marinelli assembled dozens of handguns and assault rifles and sold them to "individuals who are legally barred from possessing such weapons" including members of outlaw motorcycle clubs. Many of the guns Marinelli sold had no serial numbers and would be difficult to trace, authorities said."

Word choice of "assembled" so does just putting parts together = "manufacturing guns" in the legal sense?
