The media you consume has brainwashed you to not be able to see any difference between common sense regulations like Burrow suggests and "banning".
And despite what you claim laws do control behavior. We still have people who commit murder, but it seems silly to argue that means a law against murder is useless.
Without licensing and registration laws it is pretty much impossible for police to enforce the laws we have in place to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Reasonable gun owners like myself understand this. But unfortunately the NRA has brainwashed so many people that we can not even talk about common sense regulations with people squealing against banning guns and going to war with the government.
That's why the phrase for just about every oath of office or militaey is "all enemies, foreign and domestic."
A law is only good for one thing, controlling the people who obey the laws. They do nothing to dissuade those who don't.
And places like DC, Chicago, Detroit, etc. have the most stringent licensing and registration laws. How's that working keeping guns out of the hands of criminals? As an attorney, I would think you would understand the term criminal.
