It reduces gun deaths.The magic word here is "reduces". Nobody has ever believed we could stop all gun crime. Drunk driving laws doesn't stop all drunk driving, but they do reduce it drastically. That's why we have them.BZZZZZT! Straw man alert!Too much Harry Potter. They think wave the wand, and crime disappears.

Nobody thinks reasonable gun control.messures will make crime disappear.
OP is gun nut nonsense.
Then what statistically relavent problem do they solve?
OK, lets drill the numbers down.
1. Of all gun related deaths, 2/3rds are suicides. What "common sense" gun control measure reduces this number when the suicidal can, and often does, simply seeks other methods.
2. 80% of all the others is gang related. What "common sense" gun control method stops gang members from murdering other gang members?
3. Domestic disputes. What "common sense" gun control measures reduces these.
4. Death by LEO in self defense or defense of others. What "common sense" gun control measures do you suggest.
I've just listed 99% of all gun related deaths.
So again, what statistical problem does your proposal solve?
Duh.
