Indeed they do. However, those limits should only be placed if they meet a very high bar. There should be actual evidence to show the policy would work. The evidence isn't there. The only policy with some evidence behind it is a universal background check, but even that isn't too great. Nothing else has a statistically significant impact on gun violence. I've done the literature review on the research, so I've seen it.
Root cause mitigation is the way to go.
