The problem is, they aren't trying to save lives by enacting more Gun Control laws. They want utter control of the populace and when you disarm the populace, then you have complete domination of them.
That's all gun control has ever been about. The anti-gun crowd don't give a damn about saving lives, they care about having control and power.
If the Second Amendment falls, then so will the rest of our liberties.
