The fact is that we have ATF agents at gun shows trying to crack down on private sales because they are not legal.

About 13,000 people were killed as the result of drunk drivers. Do we need to make more laws against drunk driving?

We have laws against drunk driving and 13,000 people were killed by drunk drivers. People break the laws. People commit crimes. If all laws were followed, very few people would be killed by a gun. People who commit gun crimes are already breaking several laws.

More drunk drivers have been arrested, and taken off the road because of laws. No law will exact a universal solution because dirtbags break the laws, and morons defend those who break the laws (like the above statement). And, since more Americans have been killed by gun violence in the past 3 years than ALL of the Americans who died in the Vietnam War, we should look at the fact that the present laws are inadequate, not being enforced, or have too many loopholes to be effective.
