do you think any gun laws help curtail crime?
Yep. For example, felons being precluded from possessing guns puts a few of them away every year thus preventing a crime or two.
Statistically, a felon will repeat felonious behavior, so that felon's probable crimes will be curtailed while serving time.
That beginning began long, long ago, and even when (if?) the SCOTUS restores the 2A as it's written, the felon bar to firearms will likely stand as a "reasonable" exception. Hopefully, however, some felons will be able to have their RKBA rights restored, especially non-violent ones.To deny the RKBA to persons belonging to a group that has a statistically high rate of criminal activity is only the beginning.
Yep - CCW laws! The more citizens and legal residents are authorized to carry the means to defend themselves against criminals, the more these gun laws help curtail crime!do you think any gun laws help curtail crime?

Of the 20k+ gun laws on the books, how many of them might possibly be Constitutional? Don't know, but I'll bet very few. But that's not the issue.
