“Something else the gun grabbers never consider ... If you’re going to criminalize a significant part of the populace, what other laws will we fail to comply with afterwards?”

A very good point! I have often read that prohibition of alcohol changed America from a nation of people who obeyed the law out of habit to a nation of people who didn’t necessarily do so any longer. It is actually not possible to be a law abiding citizen in this country now and has not been for a long, long time and it only gets worse. Even lawyers must specialize in a narrow subset of the law to have any hope of dealing with it competently. The average citizen has absolutely no hope of complying even if he devotes himself to the effort. In many cases now a person cannot obey one law without breaking another in the process.
Only chaos can result from this in the end and that is what we have now, the government itself has demonstrated no intention of obeying the law of the land any longer yet government expects the poor citizen to obey. Passing a law should be a last resort when all other ways of coping with a problem have failed. What we really need is to wipe the books of everything except the constitution and start over.
