If I was advocating for confiscating every firearm, you might, might have a valid point. I wasn't.
Common sense legislation, like background checks and making sure people on the no-fly list cant legally buy or possess weapons, storage laws etc could each REDUCE the number of gun related deaths and produce a cumulative reduction in gun related deaths without meaningfully effecting legal gun ownership by responsible people. If a piece of legislation can reduce the number of gun related deaths, even by 1%, without meaningfully effecting law abiding gun owners, what exactly is the reason behind opposing that legislation?
Legislating seatbelts in cars didn't prevent loss of life in every accident, it did have a reductive effect though.
So do you think that laws will be listened to by the criminals that currently choose to ignore them? Is going after law abiding citizens with more laws going to solve the criminal and mental elements of the human animal? Interesting logic.
Perhaps every car should have a breathalyzer start system, even if it should only apply to 1% of the criminals that drive drunk. Imagine how much safer the children will be playing on the streets.
