On the contrary, these laws serve a variety of purposes. Notice that a lot of these laws do a few things. They criminalize, harass and demonize gun owners for essentially being gun owners.
The left is just writing laws that are forcing their political enemies (gun owners in this case) to either: violate the law, live with huge and unreasonable restrictions, or just cease owning guns. In any case, they will most definitely have caused a change in your behavior as a gun owner.
Maybe not a perfect analogy, but I see this as similar to what was done to smokers by the anti-smoking activists and their politicians. Smoking was once widely accepted in society. In just a few decades however, it had been transformed into some sort of shameful and deviant act. How did this happen? Well, in addition to a steady drumbeat of shaming by the antis, there were more and more taxes levied on tobacco. Also, there was a tightening of laws regarding the sale of tobacco. Third, there was an avalanche of laws and other rules regarding where a person could smoke. At many workplaces today, you will see smokers huddled together in small groups outside at "designated smoking areas" while getting rained on, etc. They are now a shunned and deviant minority. I believe that the antigun forces want the same for America's gun owners.
Back to the gun laws, they have other positives for the anti crowd. If anything, they are a big morale booster for the antis because those pesky gun owners "got theirs" at the hand of the law. Second, they impact the existing gun and ammo sellers in the affected area. Those stores will most likely be driven out of business. Look at the recent law passed in Seattle (and upheld in court) that placed a big tax on ammo. It will serve to drive the remaining three or so Seattle gun stores out of business.
One thing that I regularly see is people on the pro-gun side arguing about these laws by pointing out that they won't do anything to reduce crime, and that all they really do is make life hard for law-abiding gun owners. Are you sure that wasn't the point?
The liberal bastards will stop and NOTHING to get “guns” eliminated and by cutting off the supply of ammunition, guns are somewhat useless.
Then when these laws intended to disarm their political opponents don’t stop the next mass shooting they will claim the ammo came from out of state rather than admit that criminals DONT FOLLOW LAWS.

Precisely- Murderers are free and clear in ‘sanctuary cities’ but let a country boy, never in trouble in his life, buy 14 bullets instead of 14, and he’s now a class E felon, will be arrested and spend 4 years in prison
