No matter how many times M14 has been informed he(?) simply does not get it. Is s/he dumb? Willfully ignorant? A liar? Who knows, I suspect all (actually I know, he(?) is all of the above). It's only his gender which remains a mystery.
Once again, very slowly:

Once again loudly:
PENAL CODES DO NOT STOP CRIME!
Finally, once again boldly:
PENAL CODES DO NOT STOP CRIMES!
However, talking points (guns don't kill people, people kill people) do nothing to mitigate gun violence in America. Penal codes, like vehicle codes, the Welfare and Institutions code, the Business and Professions code, etc. establish normative rules which influence behavior. They do not stop aberrant behavior.
Thus my suggestion which I've expanded in detail allowing the states to regulate gun ownership by requiring a license to own, posses or have in one's custody and control a gun, may reduce the number of guns in the hands of those who should not ever have one in their custody and control.
