So it begins in DE. I have emailed all my legislators, none have given me much to feel good about.
I notice that 5 round magazines for rifles, 10 for handguns and ban of the so called AW. 1000 feet of a school zone, gun show loop hole.
None of which will stop any crime.
“None of which will stop any crime.”
Hence, his nickname shall be...’Jacksquat’ Markell
And there was a shooting in Dover last night..........
Background checks stopped Adam Lanza from buying a gun legally. BUT, He got his weapons by murdering his mother and stealing hers.
He violated 3-5 different laws, including capital murder before he even left his driveway.
Magazine ban will do nothing, there are, in the neighborhood of 50 million “full capacity magazines” in private hands. Not to mention that anyone with a bit of ingenuity can fashion one in a few minutes.
Banning all ownership of semi auto rifles and handguns will have no effect on crime or mass murder for any number of reasons.
First and foremost, 20 minutes with a single shot shotgun and 1 box of shells still equals 20 dead people. riflemen during the civil war were expected to fire no less than 2 rounds a minute, many were able to get up to three aimed shots, with a single shot muzzle loader.
The biggest slaughter of school children in the world was done with dynamite. Dillon and Klebold booby trapped Columbine HS with propane canisters (not banned then or now), and used sawed off shotguns and pistols.
The VT shooter had a backpack full of ten round magazines.
Tim McVeigh used a truck, with fuel oil and fertilizer.
4 six shot revolvers, which aren’t even on the radar still gets you 24 dead. World record for 6 shots, reload, 6 more shots, all on target at 15 yards is 2.7 seconds.
Ever single mass murder where a firearm was used, in history, was perpetrated in a gun free zone.
What does that tell you?
My point there is, that where there is a will to create mayhem and murder, the criminal will find a way.
Does that mean I don’t want to see something done to prevent this happening again? No
I want to see criminals who use a gun in a crime receive a mandatory life sentence, no plea bargain, no parole.
I want to see hollywood banned from glorifying violence in almost every movie.
I want to see “first person shooter” games banned.
I want to seal the border so that guns, drugs and crime stop flowing across the border freely.
I want to see people who drive under alcohol or drugs lose their vehicle so that they can’t just hop right back in and drive, no license or insurance, until someone gets killed.
BTW you are 1000 times more likely to die by drunk driver than you are to be shot, 100,000 times more than being shot with a semi auto rifle like the AR 15.
I also want to see the current administration held accountable for it crimes. Psha, yeah right.
