Apply the proposed new gun laws to the incidents they are meant to stop, then analyze. Would these laws actually have made any difference or prevented the perpetrators actions? From what I have read they would not have. So why make more laws that don't accomplish their supposed objective?
I know, some seem to think that a murderer is going to be deterred by a 10 year sentence when the crime they are about to commit carries life or death. It's really bizarre to witness.
It's called risk mangement. Gun supporters aren't calling to repeal all the murder and violent crimes that don't work to stop 100% violent crime......
It's ok to admit you feel safe with a gun under your pillow....

Because the objective is not to reduce crime, but remove guns from society. All you have to do is look at the laws being pushed in anti gun states like California and New York to see the desired result. We have the strictest guns laws in the nation, yet every year anti gun democrats propose 20 or so new gun laws to further restrict civil rights.

Then we need to reevaluate the laws and see where can make it better. I think a single federal system would be better than the patchwork of state laws and loopholes. Illinois can have the toughest gun laws but it's tough when the neighboring state has laws more lax.

Stop with that paranoid bs. It would take an incredibly horribly act for us to go that far.
However, how does the rest of the developed world not fall into anarchy without the right to bear arms? What's so special about the 2nd amendment again?

How is that tough? As soon as they bring the guns across state lines they broke the law. What new law would stop that?

Studies show that crime guns, generally, do not come from out of state. Meaning, one states laws really has no impact on other states.
Though the framers absolutely saw that as the very thing they feared most.
Many think it says "Should not be Infringed. That gives a wide open "maybe" gap to wiggle in.
But for those that cannot get around it, it clearly says and I say and yell.. "Shall Not be Infringed". Which means NO... Never Ever. Period.. You try... and we use the very Amendment do defend it.
That is why we always had the same weapons as the government had, until the Civil War and the Federal Government saw what equal weapons can do, when they the government wants to Writ Habeus Corpus anytime they want.
They have taken our weapons so that we could never truly battle the government again on equal terms.... The Federal Government IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE PEOPLE. and the US Constitution doesn't mean crap to them any longer.
