The NRA claims that there's no point in having gun-control laws

Avalon - The NRA claims that there's no point in having gun-control laws because "criminals don't obey them." What the organization is saying, without realizing it, is that we should let criminals decide whether or not we have gun-control laws. Using the same NRA logic, we should let the Boston Marathon bombers and terrorist bombers decide what laws we should have for the possession and use of their explosive devices, or we should let rapists and murderers determine our laws addressing their crimes. The NRA's claim is illogical, if not irrational.
