Best Answer

Generally no, because criminals do not obey the law and would continue to carry weapons around even when other people are not. The exception comes with weapons such as machine guns and semi-automatic assault rifles, which no law-abiding person in their right mind need anyway, and also preventing people with serious convictions or mental illness from obtaining weapons.
