See the article.
From the article:
The study did find, at best, a marginal difference made with regard to mandatory storage laws and suicides. However, I'd argue that sufficient education, combined with tax incentives for gun safes would probably have a similar impact.
The reason for no dip in homicide rates, though, is pretty simple. Most guns used in crimes of any kind are either obtained illegally or are purchased by people who have no criminal record and wouldn't be denied some kind of gun by any laws remotely permissible under the Second Amendment.
Because that's the case, there's absolutely no way for gun laws to have an impact. Ban semi-autos and these murders would take place with revolvers. Ban revolvers and they'd be committed with single-shot or double-barreled guns. And that's just for the sake of argument. That's me providing a scenario that assumes gun control actually impacts what criminals can get.
