We can't change human nature but we can control people's ability to amply their destructive nature. Its the reason why you can't easily obtain explosives or why you don't have access to nuclear weapons. This line of thinking needs to extend to a portion of firearms on the market. The Texas shooter wouldn't have been able to kill 27 people with a bolt action rifle with a 5 round clip.
There aren't many explosives or nuclear weapons on the street because there is no demand for them.
We've spend enormous resources to keep cocaine off the street and have completely failed to do so.
Just like cocaine, anybody who wants to buy a semiautomatic gun with a 50 round magazine will get one.
When was the last time somebody killed 27 people with a screw driver or chainsaw? Guns are scary because they are designed and intended for killing and maiming and they are highly effective at it.
That’s why when we invade a country we hand out guns to everyone. “More politeness.” No wonder the middle east is so peaceful.
I couldn't care less about the Middle East. I know through experience that where I am, people think twice about being a holes. And that probably has something to do with everyone and his brother packing.

There have been many stories about spree killers and terrorist trying to make bombs. They rarely ever work because its very hard to get a hold of bomb making materials. Criminals can only use what they have access too.
So, using your ”brilliant logic”, there should be no laws because criminals will just break them. How anarchistic of you.
It's like debating a 12-year-old.
Laws are meant to define anti-social behavior and the punishment that accompany them.
You believe, and are wrong, that laws prevent anti-social behavior. If laws did that, homicide laws would prevent homocides. They don't.
