Gun makers don't make used guns. Your topic is the manufacture of new items, not the secondary used market.

Gun makers cannot sell their products directly to the public, so the distributors and dealers cannot be bypassed.

And I went to 2 gun stores yesterday looking for a particular gun. It was busy as hell. At the first one you have to take a number, like in the deli department at the grocery store, to speak with a clerk.
