whenever the NRA says that limits on firearm ownership/use don't work, it's like how anti-vaxxers say that Covid vaccines and other precautions don't work. They seem to insist that laws work flawlessly and prevent every single death or prevent a certain number of deaths and if they don't, then what's the point of doing ANYTHING? And to the extent that pro-RKBAers are also making anti-choice arguments, they contradict themselves by claiming that people will still find ways to kill people (albeit less efficiently and with further victims), so, again, what's the point of doing ANYTHING?
