Murder Rampage and Gun Control, Perfect Together

The recent multiple murders with guns have led to the typical chorus call for more gun control.

Most of such rampages already violates many laws, sometimes over 30.

Do you think adding one more violation will stop the murder?

The fallacy of gun control advocates is that more gun laws means fewer guns in the hands of criminals. Instead, more gun control laws means fewer guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens, the very people who follow the law.

Moreover, gun control laws give the appearance of "doing something" about the problem when in fact they don't, and deflect attention from other government actions that might be helpful.

Let's not use the tragedy of these terrible crimes to promote bad policies that disarm law abiding citizens while keeping the criminals in business.
