As we saw last week in France, if folks want to kill they'll find a way. Last week, it was accomplished with a truck...which also happened to be full of firearms and explosives regardless of strict French gun laws.
The bottom line is this: if folks truly want to commit acts of violence, a law isn't necessarily going to stop them. Murder is against the law everywhere, but it still happens. Its happening in countries at higher rates in the US regardless of the availability of firearms.

Not true, but if it gives you some sort of perverted comfort believing it, knock yourself out. BTW, I've been a gun owner, hunter and sport shooter for over 50 years, but I find the Right's gun fetish odd and disturbing.
Most of the illicit weapons in western Europe are Warsaw Pact surplus sold legally in eastern Europe and smuggled west, just as weapons in NYC come from Virginia.
