My thoughts on Gun Control

[mach3ucf]

Simple, it will work like Prohibition of Alcohol, and Drugs.
Aka it will not stop people from being shot..

Good people will do the right thing and give up their guns. This would include me.. But the issue I see would
be the bad people will still be bad people. Also they will still have, or find ways to do what they normally do, BREAK THE LAW. Also, They will know good people will be easy pickens.
The crime rate will double, if not worse. Criminals and i think this is good, they live in fear of guns.. They
fear that the person they are about to rob, or ? worse.. They think they will have something that can help them defend themselves. So to all my fellow liberals stop.. stop with this idea that all will be well.. We do not live in a utopia.. Gun Background checks are needed, also I am a fan of psychological exams for all gun owners, and this would be a free exam that is needed to be re-registered every 3 or 4 years.

Oh wait this cannot happen. It makes sense.

My thoughts on gun control: use two hands.

If one has a gun, hesheit should damn well be able to control it. We train dogs, we should train guns.

What's the line potheads use to try to sway conservative opinion, oh yeah, Possession laws make criminals of ordinary people.

An outright ban on guns will do the same exact thing. You will instantly make criminals of a large segment of upstanding citizens. So what, are you going to throw all of the gainfully employed, never been in trouble, gun owners in jail for the x number of years it takes for the Supreme Court to strike it down? Yeah, that's going to help America be a better country.

For 2 years the New York Legislature tried to prevent the own enforcement statistics on their new "Gun Control Law" from being published ... until the NY State Supreme Court ruled against them. As always, it's not the law, but the enforcement I care about ... especially any "cover up" that prevents the statistics from proving what many said would come true.

Out of every 20 guns that were defined "assault weapons" in the NY Law, and either have to be turned in or registered -- basically anything designed in the last 100+ years -- 19 of them have not been registered. In other words ... a 95% Civil Disobediance rate.

The whole DC Gun Ban was shot down by the US Supreme Court not because of the ban itself ... but the law failed to reduce violence, let alone be enforced properly or uniformly. This means it's a law that inhibits a Supreme Law (Constitution), under the justification that it is a benefit to society, yet DC's own statistics prove it does nothing, except inhibit a Civil Right guaranteed under a Supreme Law.

This will undo NY's own law. The lawyers are already pushing it forward at the US Federal level. It's going to fail just like all the opponents said it would ... even some NY legislatures caught on mic said it would. All because it was a knee jerk reaction to an event that 98.5% of police offers (per the verified Police One survey) said was the real problem.

Gun free zones don't work ... they just attract violence because criminals with a gun know they won't be challenged for 15-20 minutes, instead of only 90 seconds. Statistics don't lie ... and that's why I listen to police, not the media, when it comes to legal firearm ownership and other safety aspects. Just like we listen to fire marshalls on code.
