Assuming that is true, it is still a worthy goal to reduce gun related crimes of all types. Just because they can't be 100% prevented does not mean attempts at reduction are a waste of time.
This is a very broad and dangerous presumption.
Think about an attempt to ban all guns? This would probably reduce more gun related crimes than a background check. Would you be ok with that? After all, “Just because they can't be 100% prevented does not mean attempts at reduction are a waste of time.”
Just because they can prevent some gun related crimes does not mean attempts at reduction are worth the price.
In other words, just because a regulation/law/whatever that can reduce gun related crimes, doesn’t make it a good thing. Reducing crime is a worthy goal, but please do not fall into the trap of thinking that a crime free society is a more worthy goal than say, protecting our freedoms.
