Both sides know words on paper do not stop the hands of those with evil intent. We have thousands of gun laws. We still have murders of all kinds with a wide array of devices and methods. Beyond guns.
Regardless of the fact murder laws exist, violence laws exist.

The only other reasonable alternative is they too realize this, and just want more gun laws to bind and restrict more law abiding citizens from gun ownership. Easier to control unarmed people. They are the ones who beg for the police srate to protect them from the criminals who remain armed as well.
