Look, here in NY we have laws which govern who may and who may not own a handgun. I believe those laws are restrictive and definitely "infringe" upon my right to keep and bear arms. But I wanted a handgun so I complied with the law while voting for political candidates who agree that these laws are too harsh.

The real issue here is this stupid idea that if they can just pass enough laws, criminals won't be able to get guns. They miss the most obvious: criminals don't have respect for laws, ANY law! Criminals by definition do respect or obey the law. Thinkng that laws will prevent criminals from owning guns only serves to disarm law-abiding citizens. the old saying is true: When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Maybe that's too simple for the Leftist, the-State-is-my-god, Communist weenies to understand.

Unfortunately, when you just go ahead and comply with stupid laws, you only perpetuate them.
