There are enough gun control laws on the books...lets try do a better job enforcing them before adding new laws...
False choice, why can't we do both? There was a time when we fought a war, did civil rights and went to the moon...all at the same time.
Despite DUI laws, people still climb behind the wheel impaired.
Do we argue to do away with those laws, or enforce them less strictly?
The arguments about gun laws are examples of allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good.
As long as there are background check loopholes for gun shows and for those on the terrorist watch list, there aren't enough GOOD laws.
