Then you should concede to the fact that felons will acquire guns regardless of the laws prohibiting them from doing so. Another law won't change that fact. But that's not the objective. The objective is to disarm as many people as possible. That, and they feel the need to "do something" about the Newtown killings. It doesn't really matter if that "something" works or not, as we saw with the 1994 law, it was useless. Obviously after reading Feinstein's new proposal, they think they just didn't make it strict enough. That fact is that rifles account for very few homicides in this country. Most are done by handguns and they aren't trying to ban those because no one in the public would support that.
