Two things F.U. has long been preaching:
(1) Lack of enforcement of existing laws is the real problem with gun crime.
(2) Criminals will always find a way around current gun laws.
We've seen the first point play out in a couple of the mass murders that have recently gone down -- where government agencies have either put the legally-sold guns into the killers' hands despite red flags which should have been in the NICS background database, or LE has failed to take away illegally-owned firearms when they had multiple chances.
In the case of the recent mass killings here in Northern California, the cops were called multiple times by neighbors about the unstable killer shooting off rounds at all hours. The sheriff said each complaint was investigated, but killer Neal was never home.
LE never bothered to get a warrant to search and seize the guns and arrest Neal for violating a court order prohibiting him from gun ownership. When asked why, the Sheriff said, "gun laws were made for people who follow them." What the fuck? Neal went on to kill four people and shot up an elementary school which had fortunately gone into quick lockdown before he could infiltrate.
