What' s your problem with locking up the people doing the unjustified shootings and the people who sold them the gun illegally in a deep dark hole and letting them rot there?
I have no problem whatsoever locking up people who shoot people? As you've repeatedly identified, however...neither these laws nor these punishments actually prevent gun crimes. Criminals gonna criminal.
Pricing gun crime demos out of guns, otoh, can. So keep throwing shooters in holes..but, also, reduce the pool of available firearms overwhelmingly represented in trace data. Right? Nobody has to follow any laws for that to work. That works regardless of whether criminals criminal. It doesn't abrogate any rights, and does nothing but benefit law abiding gun owners.
