Just pass more laws and crime will cease to exist. Legislators never recognize that laws only affect honest people. In the case of gun laws, they would take the natural right of self defense away from law abiding citizens and make them future victims. One must ask, “What is the goal of a government that would seek to make its’ citizens future victims?” Do we not have enough examples in history to know the answer?
As I understand it our Founders recognized what are referred to as “natural rights”. Things like the observation that every animal in nature will defend itself and it’s young from attack. Will seek for and shelter, etc. their premise was that governments only legitimate function should be the preservation and protection of an individual’s natural rights. At least this is what was taught in High School 50 years ago. This concept is anathema to our current overloads so I imagined it is not only not taught now but actively suppressed.
