It's just like a bank, if law alone stopped people from braking in and stealing all the money then they could just leave it all stacked in the back room. Of course we can't do that and they have to use safes in attempt to make it harder to rob a bank. Yet even that isn't a total solution but it helps quite a bit.

With gun violence, there is no total solution, but we can do our best to help stop at least some of it.
