The Million Mom March
Is Pointed in the Wrong Direction
by Harry Browne, March 13, 2000
This weekend 100,000 women are expected to visit Washington to push for new gun-control laws, as part of the "Million Mom March."
I understand their desire to make the world safer for their children. But, unfortunately, their proposals would make their children -- and themselves -- less safe.
There already are 20,000 federal gun laws and regulations on the books. If those laws haven't made America safe by now, why should we think 20,001 laws will suffice?
We shouldn't. Instead, we need to recognize that those 20,000 laws are a principal cause of the current violence in society. They have made our children and all innocent adults much less safe -- by disarming innocent citizens and encouraging armed criminals to take advantage of us.
So it's time to face reality and repeal these laws -- all of them.
