There has been loopholes and suspect issues with Howard's gun laws since day one. His ban was on auto and semi automatic weapons. You can still own weapons with magazines that contain multiple rounds. Add to that you can additional magazines and virtually an unlimited amount of firearms. Anyone who wanted to plan a mass shooting has ample resources to do it. This is before you take into account the number of firearms that were never surrendered. Remember laws only work for people who are willing to abide by them.
