It is not surprising to me that gun legislation is not very effective.
Sort of like "Zero Tolerance" policies. What might be more effective is
a social perspective that guns are rather tacky: before allowing their
child to sleep-over at little Johnny's, the parents would require that
there are no fire arms in Johnny's house - before inviting a couple over
for drinks, or a get-together at a restaurant, the hosts would confirm
that the guests weren't 'carrying'. Namely, gun-possessors would
gradually become pariahs in society. The ultimate aim being that
gun-users would ultimately be limited to law enforcement officers and
violent criminals. Legitimate hunters would still be able to use their
hunting rifles. Gun clubs & rifle ranges would still exist, but the
local police stations would store the firearms.
