Gun Control = Insanity Thinking

Gun Control Advocates want us to believe that a certain population of people who routinely and willfully rape, steal, and/or commit murder will suddenly obey a law prohibiting the possessions and/or use of firearms.

That, Folks, is called "insanity."

I'm challenging you, Gun Control Advocates.

Joan Peterson (aka japete). Dennis Henigan, Karen Arntzen, and the Brady Campaign. Sen. Feinstein. Joshua Horwitz, Ladd Everitt, and the rest of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. Mayor Bloomberg and the Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy. And the rest of you out there.

Explain: How exactly does that work?

What makes that particularly law (gun control/gun ban) more effective than the other laws (against rape, theft, murder, etc)?

And why would a criminal (for lack of a better word) follow that law but not the others?

Go on.

I'm waiting.

Ace, I think you know the answer.

It is so clear as you noted in your "Gun Control" sidebar that it is not about safety or crime; it is about power and control.

Our firearms are damn inconvenient to despots and tyrants and must be removed so they can attain their utopian vision. If they have to trample on our rights, well "the ends justify the means" to them.

The one thing I want to see done away with, my pet peeve, are the "gun free zones" that are plain evil. Anyone who tries to defend them is illogical or demented or both.
