If it was truly about saving lives they would be going after pistols way more people are killed from someone using a pistol than all rifles and shotguns combined. It's all about being able to control the people. They are just trying to ban guns that are the biggest threat to them. It has nothing to do with saving lives
They did in '68. Obviously only criminals would find a use for small, concealable, high powered pistols like the PPK! They have no sporting purpose!
