I don ' t quite understand why people think that if you introduced gun laws , literally anyone could just go and get a gun illegally . <| sep |> Straits cannot be crossed if ships are blockading AND both sides are not controlled by country trying to cross . For example , if you sieged down Edirne and Constantinople , Ottomans would not be able to cross from the east at all . However , they own both sides of the strait and can go across regardless of blockades . Make sense ?
