Criminals don't obey laws.
Given this, what makes anyone think that putting more laws on the books is going to change that line of thinking?
Now ask yourself what makes the difference between a criminal and an armed criminal.
My initial answer was going to be there is none, because at the end of the day, they are still breaking the law.
Then I thought about it and I want to say the difference is that the armed criminal is capable of killing someone, but then again, they don't necessarily need to be armed to do that, do they? Someone who commits a hit and run to a pedestrian with their car becomes a criminal the second they leave the scene of the accident. So, there's that variable to consider too.
