Gun regulation loopholes can convert safety measures into more lethal devices.

Evidence

One does not need enormous killing power for self-defense, hunting, or sport shooting. Limiting magazine capacity alone could reduce the number of people killed in a shooting rampage. However, unless gun regulations are negotiated in good faith, they are easily circumventable. Recall how gun makers altered the design for virtually instant reloading to circumvent the California law. A simple design change turned an intended safety measure into a more lethal one. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1336
