More Gun Laws

Is what's needed, the ones on the books already (which will be ignored by the court) are not working, a few more they can ignore should fix things.

More gun laws would actually work

If they were enacted in the states where so many of our guns come from.

When our courts

And criminals ignore gun laws, how is more better?

Anything

Anything that makes guns harder to get is a help. Yes, harder for law-abiding people too. Lots of the guns that wind up on our streets are bought legally by gun traffickers in lax-law states, or stolen from legal buyers. Reduce the number of those guns, and there will be fewer in the hands of criminals.
