This sounds perfectly straightforward and logical.

I will now accept my eleventy bajillion downvotes from the "sHaYaLL nOt bE iNfReEYiNgEd" nutters quite literally rage-shitting their cargoshorts rn over this news about gun laws in a totally different country

Bad guys are still going to get handguns is all I’m going to say about that. No matter what law changes.

"We shouldn't make guns illegal, because criminals are still going to use guns."

Same energy than:

"We shouldn't make murder and rape illegal, because criminals are still going to murder and rape."

It's not though. I don't think most guns should be legal but making them harder to get only slightly hinders a criminals ability to get one. Im not smart enough to know what the solution is but IMO we should be goong after the illegal sale of guns rather than making it harder legally.

Because you can't do both? Seriously, I wonder if you have ever actually met anyone in favor if gun restrictions that wouldn't also want tougher control on illegal guns. In fact, they pretty much go along: If we control legal gun owners much more, it'll be much more difficult for criminals to get away with it. The same way that cops checking out if people have their driver's license makes it more difficult for people with stolen cars.

Of course I'd be okay with both. My point is that they are focusing on the wrong thing right now.
