People get shot, means we need more gun control?
Restrictions are put in place, more people get shot.
Not enough gun control?
More restrictions are passed, still people are getting shot. Still more gun control, but still people are shot?
Why doesn't anything work? We keep doing the same thing (more gun control) and people still get shot.
Finally all the ;aw abiding and law enforcers are disarmed, still people are getting shot.

Since the same thing is repeated, more gun control, without getting any positive results shouldn't something else be tried?In years past, spikes in violence prompted calls for punitive measures like mandatory minimums in sentencing. Partly this was due to skepticism that anything besides "tough on crime" works. In the 1960s, the War on Poverty was followed by a doubling of the homicide rate; in the 1970s, social scientists concluded rehabilitation and prevention programs didn't work.
