To believe this you would also have to believe that the Murderer would not have used another means to Murder.
There is plenty of Gun Laws but they are not being enforced effectively. Unfortunately it is partly an economic issue. Write a letter to the Bureau of Tobacco and Firearms and ask them if the feel they have enough Officers, equipment or funds to do their job effectively.
Do the same with your Police Department or your local Prosecutor.
The People in the NRA do want illegal gun uses heavily punished but they cannot motivate the Politicos to do that and are also too busy defending themselves from more un-enforceable Gun Laws.
Arn't you outraged that the Forces that are supposed to protect you and your Loved Ones are not funded well enouh?
Did the President of the US go on Air and talk about how his Party is going to increase Funds for Law Enforcement or Criminal Prosecution or did He did he speak of more Gun Control?
I mean Our Country spend Billions overseas but cannot properly fund Law Enforcment?
The answer is our Leaders do not really care. They would rather attack the soft target; the Law Abiding Gun owner, erode the US constitution and increase their power from the erosion.

There are plenty of nations where access to guns is limited and there is not an over abundance of bombs or other devices being used to murder. Using guns is easy. Making an effort to assemble a bomb or some other device takes more effort and knowledge. I do believe that lack of access to guns but those who wish to commit a crime will indeed reduce the amount of gun violence. Knives are not nearly as effective or clean. Explosives tend to hurt the one with the explosive and not many want to go out with their victims.
In Texas the laws are quite lax and I have not heard anything about the NRA seeking to strengthen the laws. I can walk up to anyone selling a gun, give them money and walk away with a gun. No questions need to be asked.
Wanting things punished after the fact may be nice but it is quite reactionary. I would rather see the NRA be proactive and try and to prevent the people who should not get guns from having access to them.
