I always find it strange when people argue that making something harder to do will not prevent something from happening anyway. As if that was the point. Because that's never been and never will be the point of making it harder to do.
Why tell your child not to play with fire? Fire can burn the child anyway.
Why lock your door at night when you go to sleep? If someone wants to get in, they'll just break down the door or come in a window.
Why wait at a cross walk for the light to turn green before crossing? A garbage truck can still plaster a person all over it's grill even when they're as careful as they possibly can be.
The answer is that these are deterents. There are millions of them that we all do and see every day of our lives. That's why I find it strange that in gun discussions it comes up like it's a good point or something when it's completely lame. A total misfire, pun intended.
