Criminals in most of the world do follow gun laws. And well-enforced nationwide gun laws work -- the only reason that they don't work in the U.S. is because too many of them are for individual cities, states, and zones.
In Canada, if a criminal is found with a gun, that means the criminal is probably from the U.S. In Japan, criminals don't use guns to commit crimes against law-abiding citizens, so when the police find a criminal with a gun, that means the criminal was going to kill another criminal.

Your logic has convinced me -- we shouldn't have any laws ,if criminals aren't going to obey them.

Actually Australia passed a ban and mass killings dropped significantly. And in 1994 the US passed a temporary ban and mass killings also dropped (unfortunately the law expired in 2004).
True the crooks don't follow the laws. But gun banning laws makes it clear who the crooks are; so when we find someone with a banned gun both the crook and the gun are taken out of circulation.
Remembers guns don't kill...but they do make killing more people in a shorter time easier.

Democrats don't want to take guns away from criminals. They want to take guns away from law abiding, responsible gun owners.

I guess that explains why thousands of people die from gun related incidents in the US every year, but no other countries have a similar ember of such deaths. .

Your reasoning is completely faulty. And, yes, strict gun laws DO work. States with strict gun laws have MUCH lower rates of gun violence and gun-caused deaths than those that do not. Using your logic, we shouldn't have any laws at all.

Then by that logic no law ever created works since "criminals don't follow laws"...
