That is the reddest herring.

Any city in the US where gun rights are essentially non-existent is a few miles away from another city where they can get guns from, and nothing stops the guns from moving back in.

When guns are illegal in the country it becomes a lot more like trying to smuggle drugs over borders. It still happens, but not so casually.

I don't think the legality matters much. Drug prices have across the country have dropped significantly despite a ballooning war on drugs. A quick google search shows that cocaine has dropped 80% in price since the 80's.
