Thank you, God!

I certainly don't want to get into a debate about gun control, but I have to say I find it rather ludicrous to reason that gun laws won't stop gun crimes and so they should not be considered. If that were the measure of lawmaking, then no law would have any value, since all laws can be broken.

I can't imagine any statement more specious in America than claiming a law should only be instituted if it can be guaranteed that everyone abide by it. Laws are made and enforced to reflect the moral and cultural bent of a society. If we don't want people getting easy access to guns then we should make laws to prevent as many people as possible from getting easy access to guns...if we don't think that's a reasonable goal, then we shouldn't make the law. But let's not make excuses for not facing the issue squarely.
