Every week or so, people are shot en masse and the gun control debate strikes up again. Often gun proponents bring up some idea that gun control is pointless because "after all, we have murder laws and murder still happens."

I am always baffled by this statement. Do people honestly believe that:

A) Murder would be just as common if there were no legal and/or societal consequences for it?

B) That murder laws should be repealed because they are useless?

Can someone explain to me why this is a good argument?
