So...you DON'T have a way to make criminals obey the law.That's what the irrational gun haters are doing.
Have any of you figured out yet that criminals don't obey they law, thus everyone one of your ideas disarms ONLY law-abiding people?
Or do you really believe that criminals will obey the law if you pass just one more?
Most of us don't obey the speed limit laws either. Is that a good reason to just not have any or never change it?
Do you have any problem with disarming only law-abiding citizens?
I do.
Of course you can't make criminals obey the law. That's not the law's intent. Crime prevention is an oxymoron and no law can prevent a determined criminal. But, you CAN punish them for breaking it.
Yes, I do have a problem with disarming law-abiding citizens. However, nobody but the very looney left is suggesting that and it's not gonna happen anyhow. Constitutionally since Heller, it CAN'T happen.
On the flip side, I don't have a problem with making it more difficult to purchase a firearm or, for that matter, registering the ones I have. Nor do I have a problem with prohibiting certain types of firearms. For instance, I don't want my nutty neighbor down the street owning a Ma Duece or an RPG. Do you?
If it means inconveniencing myself to make guns more difficult for criminals to obtain, and greatly increasing the punishment when they do, I'm not necessarily opposed to that for the greater good. It would depend upon the specific proposal, of course, but in general I have few objections.
What about you? Why, or why not?
