The assault weapons controversy

11. True but...

...what I mean is that you can make all the laws you want, a law won't make everyone do only good things.

If laws stopped crime, that is what "control" implies, then we wouldn't have murders or armed robberies. They are against the law.

I read stories about one heinous crime or another and when some knife wielding serial rapist claims a sixth victim, I don't hear anyone suggest that a new law would be the answer. Now if I read about some useless scum shooting 6 people, it wouldn't be hard to find someone demanding a new law that would surely solve the problem.
