Well, it is historically proven that banning something people want creates a black market for said something. See prohibition for a rather salient example. However, vaping is not a Constitutional right. Additionally, there's the fact that the vast majority of criminals, who account for the vast majority of gun related homicides, acquire their firearms illegally already. Why would adding more laws curtail that? Again, actually enforce existing laws. Aggressively prosecute those found in illegal possession of a firearm. Aggressively prosecute straw purchasers. Once you actually do that maybe we can then consider additional laws to curtail this criminal activity. Maybe stop trying to impose further restrictions on those actually obeying the law prior to doing so?
