Why? Because the type of people who are inclined to kill people during the commission of a crime, are fucking idiots. They either don't consider the consequences, or don't a give a fuck.

No law you could impose, is going to make these people any smarter. It would, as you pointed out, probably drive the Murder rate up, instead of down.
