One good example: Banning assault weapons.
How would we enforce a ban on them?

No longer being able to sell them is incomplete, who would enforce a ban on existing assault weapons?
Have the ATF go door to door ransacking houses and businesses looking for the "wrong" guns?

Existing gun laws need to be enforced better.
