@YourMomsSecretCrush Good point. Have you noticed that most of the shootings have happened in 'gunfree' zones and businesses?
@Indieoriginal all the laws and signs in the world will not stop someone intent on killing. You could take every gun on earth and dump them in the ocean and it would just force people to adapt in order to harm one another. dynamite works well.

@YourMomsSecretCrush What the laws do not do is to prevent criminal misuse of a fire arm. What gun laws do is to spell out what sanctions will result from criminal behaviour. Gun laws in Canada prevent law abiding citizens who are licensed from possessing certain fire arms or accessories.. eg. Pistols with magazines greater than ten rounds, suppressors, etc.
@pdqsailor1 Their idea of criminal behavior is merely owning an unregistered weapon. My idea of criminal behavior is actually using a firearm to commit a murder, assault or robbery.

The list of criminal behaviours is far more extensive than you consider.. I was at a friends sailboat last evening.. a criminal fired a gun and the bullet hit his mast, it dented it severely and the surveyor will say it needs to be replaced.. $30K... so an insurance claim. The number of laws broken will fill a full page single spaced.. and it involved none of what you describe.. @YourMomsSecretCrush
