New gun laws

I spend everyday working with felons and addiction issues. I have been doing this for 20 years and no matter what you think, new laws regarding the purchase of any type of guns are totally useless.
Here is why and it’s not based on emotion just in fact. There are literally tens of thousands of illegal guns in our country that are readily available for snd in the hands of criminals. These weapons never can be controlled as they are stolen, brought into our country through the ridiculous open border. Gang and traded in the streets. The problem is a people problem. Laws that continue to release known criminals with existing laws being ignored and mental health issues also being ignored and not treated.
Criminals, gangs, and radical groups of every type do and will continue to have open access to weapons no matter what the laws allow.
This is based on talking to felons and seeing the availability for 20 years.

@ mktonight; I'd like to say, the fact that you've been working with felons and addiction issues everyday for 20 years does NOT make my thoughts about gun control - or anyone else's - less worthy of consideration than yours. The ingenuity & intractability of felons is a separate subject from the possibility of controlling firearm availability. In the USA that will certainly be a difficult problem but if the political will existed for legislation and enforcement, progress could be made.

i'm sure we could all learn much from your work experience, which may often be far from pleasant but that doesn't invalidate other other peoples' thoughts - as you attempt to do with 'no matter what you think'.
