In fact, most crimes are committed by firearms obtained illegally anyway,

Most crimes are committed by people without guns. Most of them are also pretty minor. Most killings are done by highly disturbed people killing their (ex)wife, (ex)girlfriend, children, neighbour, etc... If a gun was involved, it is not likely to have been obtained illegally.

Second, if you were to obtain a gun illegally, which place would be the easiest place to get one. In an area where there are few guns, and those that exists are locked up properly, dismantled, with the parts stored separately, and the ammo somewhere else? Or one where most everyone have one at home, walks around with it, and/or keeps it in their car, preferably loaded?
