    Because every law thus far has been an attempt to get guns out of the hands of "bad guys" without having an effect on the "good guys". I don't see any fewer bad guys with guns.

    Show me a law that doesn't primarily harm the good guys that would have stopped the Vegas shooting. Guy was an insane millionaire and even though he didnt use automatic weapons could have easily afforded them (250 for tax stamp, ??? For FBI background check that would have come through clean, and 25k-ish per weapon)

    The only thing that worked was stop and frisk, horribly unconstitutional but if we are going to discuss efficacy it should be on the table.

    I would be less bothered by the gun control crowd if they were going after handguns more and rifles less, handguns range up to 20k/year while rifles and shotguns are each down around 300.
