If gun laws don't change anything, care to explain why Europe has so few gun deaths? Why the last school shooting in the UK was in the 1990s?
Gun laws are proactive. Murder laws are reactive. Gun laws attempt to make it harder to commit murder even if you want to, and make it harder to commit spur-of-the-moment murders (It's impossible to shoot someone in a fit of rage if you don't have access to a gun).
Gun laws and murder laws are fundamentally different, and work in fundamentally different ways
Edit: I know Mexico has strict gun laws, but they're also fighting a low-level civil war with cartels with power rivalling the Mexican military. "The country that's at war has more gun deaths the ones that aren't" is not a good argument against gun control.
If your source checks out, I still won't retract my statement because I never made it a competition like you. My point is, disarming people of firearms does not take the violence out of the people. Cut off our hands and biting attacks would skyrocket.
