You guys are still on this kick that most armed homicides are done by career criminals and shit. Gun regulation is effective by taking out the tool upon impulse, which is what most crimes are committed on. There's a reason why pre-meditated murder holds a steeper penatly.

You're right that if someone wants to get their hands on a gun than they most likely will if they put in enough effort to get one. The people who go through that effort is a super small percentage of the crimes committed though and is not the target of gun regulation.

Honestly though... gun regulation is like icing on a cake the real body of the issue lays in the socio-economic field. Poverty and lack of social mobility are some of the biggest factors that contribute to gun violence or violence in general. It just so happens we have the 2nd lowest rate of social mobility in all the OECD countries. Perhaps fixing things like minimum wage, health care, and other factors might be a better fix in the end. That's a dream though, because we'll still have idiots like Rush Limbaugh and the people who listen to him following suit to scream bloody murder and justify the legislation special interests push through our politicians.
