"Mayors Against Illegal Guns"

[M14 Shooter]

an illegal purchase means its stolen,, and that would be on the seller not the buyer unless they knew,,

A felon can never legally buy a gun. That's an illegal purchase - an illegal transfer - and then illegal possession
A seller can never sell a gun to someone he knows is a felon. That's an illegal transfer
Except for a few guns in a few states, the guns themselves are not illegall to purchase or possess.

There are, for instance, exactly zero illegal guns in OH, as OH law does not oullaw the purchase or possession of any particular firearm.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns

Our mayors lead the way in advocating for gun safety in America.

mayors.everytown.org

They are in their words, "a coalition of mayors fighting to end gun violence in America."
Apparently over 1000 mayors are part of this coalition, from 45 states - plus DC and Puerto Rico

The obvious question;
What guns are illegal in states like AL, AK, AZ, AR?
How about PA, OH, OK, MI?
VT? NH? ME? VA?
And then TX NC SC TN?

Anyone? Anyone?

The problem is not "gun" violence, it's violence due to most of society not having been taught effective conflict resolution skills. The gun is simply the most convenient tool of choice used in substitution for their lack of impulse control and inability to resolve conflict.

Wrong.

‘Switzerland doesn’t require its citizens to own guns. In Switzerland, guns are regulated in three classes and there is mandatory military service for able-bodied men.’

More ignorance and lies from the right about guns.

The Swiss and their Guns, by Kopel and D'Andrilli

What America can learn from Switzerland is that the best way to reduce gun misuse is to promote responsible gun ownership.

Yeah, it is true. The swiss believe the safety and security of the country isn't the military or individuals responsibility, it's every man's responsibility. Basically the swiss believe everyone is to protect their country.

I first found out by a swiss couple I played EverQuest with in my guild I knew for 5 or 6 years via the game.

It also still doesn't absolve the fact that the swiss have a huge install gunbase and very few gun related crimes. Some 2 million guns in circulation, that they know of.

Switzerland has a high rate of gun ownership and a low rate of gun-related street crime - but it may not hold useful lessons for other countries.

Does it surprise you the anti-gun loons worded it wrong?
The only question is if theirs was a statement of ignorance or dishonesty.

I have spoken to some of them, they still believe it's the gun's fault.
