Does my logic make sense here?

Maybe y'all can help me with this.

We've all heard conservatives say things like "Gun control laws don't work. Criminals don't obey laws. You're only hurting law-abiding citizens," or some variation of that.

I think we should use their own arguments against them. For example: "Voter ID laws don't work. If some criminal is going to commit voter fraud, a law won't stop them, because criminals don't obey laws. You're only hurting law-abiding voters."

Or: "Anti-abortion laws don't work, because criminals don't obey laws. Someone seeking an abortion is going to get one no matter what."

I know these statements wouldn't change any of the hardcore rightwinger's minds, but it might make other people think. It at least points out their hypocrisy.
