text: What is typical deflection is pretending "more laws" is the answer. We have countless laws on the books now, prohibiting everything from assault to murder, from theft to vandalism, from adultery to sodomy, regulating alcohol to drugs, and more laws and regulations directed at guns than a person can count.  None of those do one whit of good at stopping someone who is intent on disregarding it. They only come into play after the fact. I challenge you to name a single law that will be widely complied with and will control what it is meant to do if someone is inclined to disregard it.
