"If we can get handguns, some of the handguns out of the hands of some of the criminals, then we'll make a small dent in some of the homicides and that is the intent of this legislation." I can guarantee you'll get *none* of the handguns from *any* of the criminals and you will only see homicides rise.
How can a guarantee this? Because it has happened EVERY OTHER PLACE that has implemented gun confiscation.
But this isn't about fighting crime, is it?

Nope. It's about power.

And when that becomes apparent then the "authorities" will say that they were not rigorous enough and people still have guns so maybe they start sending SWAT teams into law abiding peoples' homes to find the guns that the gangbangers are using to shoot each other and policemen and law abiding people.

But what's more dead when compared to the nice warm fuzzy the extreme left will feel?
