I think the point is that restricting the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens does nothing to curb gun violence.

If only we had laws to prevent criminals from obtaining guns this would surely curb the issue.
On the same not. We should outlaw murder.

Are you suggesting that the gun control laws are actually working?

Actually a government study found exactly that...

Obama wanted a report on gun violence, and he got one, just not the one he may have been wanting.
A recent study supervised by the CDC and carried out by the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council found that individuals involved in violent crimes who defended themselves with a gun were far less likely to be injured than those who were not carrying a firearm.
The report ended up finding more benefits in regards to open or concealed firearm carrying than negative side effects. It is estimated that guns are used in defense up to 3 million times per year. Compare that with the number of violent crimes involving firearms in 2008–300,000.

The report further confirms that most gun deaths are at the hands of those who used the gun for suicide–not homicide. Suicide by guns outweighs the amount of deaths caused by violent crimes by 61%.
