Gun laws only effect the law-abiding; lunatics and criminals are not controlled by laws. That's why they are called "outlaws". As William S. Burroughs once said, "Every time there's a shooting, they want to punish the people who had nothing to do with it."
Create jobs, reinforce families, evenly punish criminals, and limit public assistance to rational levels, and more will be done to save lives than a whole collection of politically cynical gun laws.
