Since this is a firearms forum, this may be over looked. The issue of "gun control" and whether its effective or not is not limited to the gun control debate itself, pro or con, doesn't matter. The issue is more about whether more/less strict criminal laws can or do result in more/less safety for society in general. This doesn't hinge on the criminal law(s) as a single issue, but more on the legal, judicial and corrections/probation side. Think of it as a three legged stool. One leg that's too short/long makes the stool unbalanced. Similar to the broader legal system. Its all but impossible to say this law does/doesn't work. All of the factors involved must be looked at.
