Isn't the main argument many make that making new laws won't affect criminal behavior? Why wouldn't we welcome better crime-fighting efforts targeted at criminals with illegal guns?
As far as Lanza goes, his killing spree brought a spotlight on gun law enforcement, and our country has been found wanting: there are millions of guns obtained from illegal activity and in criminal hands. Let's enforce our existing laws, and give the ATF what it needs.

I agree. That's why the latest reduced capacity magazine laws make no sense. They do not affect criminals, they only handicap legal owners using a gun in self-defense.
