Exactly. Most of the original argument was if we had legislation (on something like "hi-capacity" mags) then all this violence would go away. That's a pipe dream As Cheaper said (and I said earlier), violence has been a part of our nature since Cain slew Able. Nothing has changed that in 4000+ years of recorded history. But making another law won't stop the real crime. It will only disarm the law-abiding populace. Do you think a gang-banger cares what the gun laws are? Do you think he went into the local gun shop, passed a background check and paid market price for his weapon? Not a chance.
