What is the point of new gun laws and controls?

Even the last few instances which inspired the furor show that if the present laws were enforced, these events would not have happened. I'm for mandating firearms safety courses in all schools. The teacher should be qualified and the course made age-appropriate. There would always be qualified people with guns at school then. Let's face it, one of the reasons these crazies choose schools is because we're guaranteeing there's nobody armed there. You don't see them attacking a police station.

    The point is a overall agenda to slow gun ownership and attempt to get guns banned. They can go for it all at once, so they do a little at a time using the newest tragedy for political gain. They know these laws don't prevent violence, yet they will tell the voters they made the streets safer. And because many in the media aren't friendly to guns, the media won't offer any challenges.
