Please tell me that you're not going to compare a mechanical device to a law and try to make an analogy?

Laws never work "perfectly". Most of them don't even work "adequately". And, once a law is passed, very rarely is it modified or changed. What usually occurs is that it remains and more laws are passed to further enhance the existing law.

Government is legendary for passing ongoing laws, laws that most people do not even know about, and laws that most people wouldn't follow anyway because there is no enforcement of said laws.

Have you noticed that you can drive without the use of turn signals at all times?

Have you noticed that you can drive 65mph in a 55mph zone at all times?

Have you noticed that you really don't need to pay any taxes if you're creative with your books?


There is very limited enforcement of nearly every law. No reason to believe your new gun laws will be any different or have an outcome that is any different from the current status quo.
