There are already thousands of laws on the books; that is not the problem. You can't legislate responsibility; but you can enforce trhe laws we currently have.

BTW, gun control would not do any better in the Senate. Republicans AND Democrats know it is a losing issue. That lesson was learned in 1994 and neither side wants to be on the losing side of a repeat.
