Because if we decided to make it harder to obtain guns legally, the murderers would give up?

The stricter gun control stance doesn't really make much sense. If criminals can't get a gun legally, they WILL get it illegally. On the other hand, honest citizens WILL NOT be able to obtain it legally. It literally only hurts the people it's meant to protect. And there is the
second amendment to consider as well.
For the record, don't own a gun, don't want to own a gun. I just don't see the logic of this position
