This is a great point, as it shows the complete fallacy of what these laws intend to to do, versus what they actually do.
Connecticut already has a more restrictive law than most everyone else, yet this is where this monstrous killing took place. New York and California passed AWB's that never expired, and there are still significant gun violence problems in those states. Chicago and DC have incredibly restrictive laws, yet you are more likely to die of gun violence there than almost anywhere else.
Had Feinstein's bill become law last year, Mrs. Lanza - being a legal gun owner - would have registered, been fingerprinted, and had her picture taken.
And her son would have still shot her in the head, and then gone and slaughtered 26 innocents.
