How can a guy with 21 previous arrests get a gun? I thought background checks were supposed to keep this from happening.

Yeah, you just know that the left is going to scream gun control. I would sooner trust one good man with 20 guns than a career criminal with just one.

Put the criminals away! It's not that complicated.

Gun laws are useless. The criminals always find a workaround. When things get much worse and America becomes a dystopian wasteland, the sheeple will ready to surrender their guns. The criminals will then feast on what remains.

I thought all that “Lawlessness and Chaos” was done away with by the Democrats back in 1968!

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.

And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons law as a pattern...

“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.
