But they can't buy what's not available for sale. More guns = more gun violence. Yes, the nation is already awash in guns (the NRA has done their job very effectively), but requiring background checks on any gun sale, and banning the sale of machine guns and limiting the capacity of the magazines will tighten supply. Over time, there will be fewer assault weapons & less ammo.
It's about harm reduction, it's not an outright solution to a very complex problem.
