Privatized Wars!

Some time ago I did write about the weapon's market the legal international trade of weapons, which is well known and legislated and monitored however today I write about the illegal market out there the so called and well known as BLACK MARKET but before let me borrow this statement from :-

Servants of war:
private military corporations and the profit of conflict
By  Rolf Uesseler
Private military firms are making a killing. They operate on all continents throughout the world—commissioned by governments, intelligence agencies, private industries, warlords, drug cartels, and rebel groups to support their military and safety interests. Here in the U.S., as the massively expensive war in Iraq shows no signs of ending, our forces grow more and more dependent on the assistance of military contractors. Beyond Iraq, engagements of mercenary firms in foreign countries are multiplying, whether to protect oil investments in the Nigerian delta or for humanitarian reasons in Darfur. In this far-reaching exposé, Rolf Uesseler reveals how these mercenary firms profit from conflict: As they operate in a legal twilight zone, the private nature of their work frequently makes them legally impermeable and financially profitable. Uesseler details the many ways in which employment of for-profit fighters compromises justice, jeopardizes international peace and stability, and manages to escape public scrutiny, explaining exactly what happens when military operations are shielded from democratic processes, and when the concern for justice and security is overshadowed by the desire for financial gain. 
Now what is Black Market? Just some undercover merchants who seize the opportunity of higher demand on commodities than available and raise their prise or the game of financial gain, some people would create fake higher demand buying what is available to resale it at way higher prices again financial gain! However government policies pave the way to secret black markets with huge financial gains to illustrate the idea let ask a question.... USA banned marijuana for nearly a century now. Billions of dollars per year spent trying to combat marijuana, and it's still used as prevalently as ever. The question is : - 
Would Government ban of a commodity create an undercover black market?
To answer this question look at a similar  policy to the USA combat of marijuana, the international ban of DRUG TRAFFICKING did it stop farmers from planting plants used in drugs? Did it stop Drug Addictions or Drug dealers? Or it did HELP to huge financial gains of Drug Lords all over the world?
The name of the game is FINANCIAL GAIN!
Back again to the privatized war in which we use arms and weapons the questions is:-
Wouldn't the Assault Weapons Ban create an even bigger black market?
Note: Assault Weapons Ban is a ban on highly destructive weapons than usual like a dual shut towards targets, or exploding bullets either inside the target or towards the targets  
Arms trafficking is already big business, and if we decide to have a ban on assault weapons, wouldn't criminals just use it as a way to make more money trafficking newly banned guns?
There is a big difference between drugs and guns. You use drugs and then they are gone. 
For guns to be useful they must be available at all times. 
Ban assault weapons and anyone who possesses one is liable for arrest 24 hours a day. Secondly, these weapons are licensed. This means that if they are banned today then 99% of them can be removed tomorrow. Remember that no legitimate arms dealer would touch them so all suppliers would be criminals! Generally Arms are licensed and can be traced this is if SOLD BY LEGITIMATE ARMS DEALR! And this is another issue out of the scope of this article, as I want to expose the big privatised wars that Egypt, Syria, Sudan, Mali, Pakistan, Iraq and many more countries face!
There is no Ban of Weapons internationally but policies and diplomatic relationships that impose and rule the armoury supplies between countries; we see the big debate in the Syrian problem, countries openly provide weaponry, and others underground make sure arms reach to terrorists! Few months back when United Kingdom decided to support France in his fight in Mali against terrorists the question imposed it self :- How Terrorists get latest assault weapons and WHO SUPPLIES THEM? R.I.P Colonel Kudafi in his war with Libyans used African Mercenaries, Mercenaries were used in several civil wars  Countries supporting rebels against other countries not wanting to be exposed or questioned Internationally used Mercenaries unofficially man to man deals between Mercenaries and intelligence of the fighting forces no records and no one can trace back the secret deals however Mercenaries become old fashion and Security Enterprises took place, taking in the shadow Countries whichever, so no questions asked and for their Financial gain justice is overlooked human rights neglected and the world of Idealism disappears in the greediness of financial gain!
Egypt as a vital part of this world is in the game who is behind it and why is not officially known but some suggest CIA with Israel decided to reshape the Middle East map to their best interest others accuse Muslim Brotherhood and Qatar support however for sure the name of the game is FINANCIAL GAIN and nothing is for nothing you pay the right price you get what you want but from my desk in this hour I say it clear to all those who SOLD EGYPT this country is not for sell it is my country that God blessed, Egyptian woke up and stood for their rights or remained asleep in the darkness of their bedrooms praying God and await for his miracle doing nothing more than chatting or drinking coffee and playing backgammon in coffee shops, this country stays and remains blessed and any other offender sooner or later will be a bad nightmare that disappeared may God protect this country from the conspiracies and keep blessing Egypt and Egyptians!
