This is an example of the fundamental idiocy behind every single "gun control" law out there on the books or swirling around would-be tyrants' minds.

They are all based on the idea that some how, some way, a law on paper or some computer's hard drive will keep you safe from someone with murderous intent.

No "gun control" law will ever keep you safe. It is impossible.

Do you think posting a sign on the beach "No sharks allowed" would keep swimmers/surfers safe? Do you think posting a sign in the meadow "No wolves allowed" would keep a flock of sheep safe? Ok, obviously sharks and wolves can't read. But people can. So I guess laws against child abuse have stopped child abuse. Laws against taking street drugs have stopped the opioid crisis. Laws against domestic violence now keep partners and spouses safe. Laws against drunk driving have stopped those completely preventable accidents...

No??? But...???

Why in the world would anyone delude themselves into believing that someone with murderous intent, prepared to commit unspeakable acts of violence and break literally dozens of laws...would somehow be deterred or stopped by just one more "common sense" law? In what fantasy land of Unicorns farting gumdrop rainbows does a criminal stop when confronted by a sign, or a law? It is in their very nature as criminals - by definition they break laws!

The blindingly obvious result of this simple realization is that disarming law abiding citizens -- again by definition people who follow or obey "gun control" laws -- does not in any way make them safer. In fact it has been proven to increase crime across the board.

And yet, certain people keep pushing for more "gun control" using the notion of making the public safer. Bull***t. Stop lying. You, me, and the wolf stalking in the meadow know "gun control" has absolutely nothing to do with safety - unless you count safety for would-be tyrants with fascist dreams. You want to disarm law abiding citizens? Then stop jerking us off with this "safety" lie. Just come out and admit that you want to impose controls on the citizens and you don't think they'll stand for it. So before you can create your socialist/fascist utopia you've got to disarm us.

Information control and the lie are powerful tools of tyrants.

Being honest is the last thing you can expect of them.

In spite of what the Government Bureaucrats say, the purpose of gun controls are not to make one safe. It is to render one helpless to resists Governmental tyranny.
