Whether or not you personally feel it to be true, laws actually do curtail some people's actions.

Yes. If a person wants to do damage, they will figure out a way to do damage. But there are many, MANY, people that will abide by the restrictions that new or revamped gun laws would provide.

Comparison: Yes, people will still speed on the highway regardless of posted limits and fines, but if we put restrictions and punishments for speeding, it usually curtails people driving at excessive speeds. And that's why we do it.

Texas has made it easier to purchase guns in recent months despite the state's playing host to a series of mass shootings in recent memory, including the killing of a combined 30 people in El Paso and Odessa in 2019.
