No amount of well-meaning, wishful thinking will cause these criminals to honor additional gun laws. Advocates of gun control rarely discuss the enforceability of their proposals, an understandable lapse, since even police state tactics cannot effectively enforce gun bans. Existent gun laws impact only those willing to comply with such laws, good people who already honor the laws of common decency. Placing further impediments in the path of good citizens will further disproportionately disarm those good people - especially disarming good, poor people, the people who live in the areas of highest risk. The odds of a defensive gun user killing an innocent person are loss than 1 in 26,000.
Citizens intervening in crime are less likely to be wounded than the police.
