The NRA tried that for a long time, and the politicians used fear of guns to push through more and more laws.

The thing is, I can't name a single gun law that criminals don't just plain ignore. Registration, waiting periods, bans, no-carry zones--criminals don't follow any of them. But law-abiding citizens do. Gun laws punish the law-abiding and have zero effect on criminals.
