We are just trying to find ways to REDUCE gun crimes.
And the idea that laws will be broken by bad guys so we shouldn't have stricter laws is maybe the weakest argument of all. With that reasoning why have laws at all?

There is a colossal difference between:
1) Laws that punish the perpetrator of a specific, wrong act, rooted in tradition (like theft, murder, assault, etc.).
and
2) Laws that punish half of the country and seize commonly owned items or overturn long-standing traditional rights.
No serious person objects to 1. Almost everyone objects to 2, when it is being weaponized against them instead of them doing the weaponizing of the law.
