Hazard, what you are suggesting is doing something to save face, to appear to be doing something to placate the masses. While that may work for politicians whose only goal is to be reelected it doesn't solve the problem.
Silverfang made a comment about the simple minded wanting simple answers, and I retorted that sometimes it is the simple answer you need because you are overthinking the problem. Conversely there are subjects that because of history and law are difficult problems that require well thought out answers on multiple fronts. Now, while I particularly blame the majority of our internal problems on what I call the snowflake syndrome, the exterior problem isn't limited to something so simple as gun sales no matter who is doing it.
In the previous wall thread someone said that the migrant caravans were the USs "Dollar Diplomacy" coming home to roost. In a way they were right, however, what they failed to recognize is that we had tried two of the other three methods already and they either didn't work for more than a generation or were abandoned when public opinion turned against it. Frankly all we have left as options is either dollar diplomacy, aka paying the danegeld, or conquest. Because otherwise we are going to have to tank our own economy so bad that people are fleeing the US.

Wolf wins every fight but the one where he dies, fangs locked around the throat of his opponent.
