      Except for all the convicted felons who own guns.

      There’s also a very racist element to enforcement of that law.

          You’re wrong about new laws stopping violence. For example, preventing domestic abusers from having guns would drastically lower violence.

          Banning gun show, or requiring all sellers to be able to run background checks, would also drastically lower the number of guns entering the hands of criminals. Several states already ban private sales without said sale being registered and run through a third party who can run a background check, but enforcement is spotty because 2a nuts hate anything that curbs the violence.
