Yes. Like minimum age requirements, safe storage, no guns in Schools by unauthorized personnel, brandishing in public, etc. These are common sense laws that are not solely intended to stop intentional crime, but to avoid unintentional consequences.
In some cases maybe, but for the most part, regardless of the type of law, only law abiding citizens follow them. Using your mindset, why do we need any laws? Do rapists follow anti-rape laws? No, but the law make for punishment if broken. How about theft? You talk about gun theft, but what if your neighbor could come over and take anything he wanted....anytime, without fear of some form of punishment? Why should thee be any kind of restrictions against driving drunk? If a man is free to walk down the street without any qualifiers, why isn't he free to get in his car and drive after downing a dozen shots?
These kind of posts are just preaching to the choir on forums like this. Go to a sport bike forum and I bet there are threads against speed limits. Folks on these types of forums continuously whine about the accuracy of polls, that go against their thinking, yet establish polls to get verification of their mindset, knowing all to well, that the majority of folks here support it, even if in a small way. If every man(what no women or kids?) that walks down the street is perfect in everyway, maybe this mindset might work. But we know better, don't we?
As much as folks here whine about existing gun control laws, how many of us have actually been seriously affected by any? At 68 years of age I have all the guns and ammo I want(or can find) and other than a short period of having to wait three days to pick up a new handgun, I have never felt restricted to the point of feeling my 2nd rights were seriously "infringed".
