2. Of course not. Raging assholes don't read law books.

What laws can do is slow it down considerably by making it much more expensive:

Liability insurance should be required on all guns, a nominal fee on 2 shot hunting rifles in rural areas, exorbitant on Big Ugly Guns with large magazines and no purposes except making the owner feel powerful and hunting other humans.

Tax on ammo. You want less of something, like crossfire, tax the ammo. Tax lead, cordite and black powder, too, so reloaders don't get to dodge the tax.

Nothing will stop it. This will likely slow it down considerably.
