And as far as "keeping guns out of the hands of criminals", my attitude is: if he's too dangerous to be allowed to own a gun, then he's too dangerous to be loose on the street

We have a society that stives to keep guns out of the hands of felonious embezzlers.

While ignoring streams of illegals coming over the border.

"In the minds of the enemies of the Second Amendment, there is no distinction between decent Americans who own firearms and violent criminals."

For the ultimate definition of the term “illegal gun,” look no further than the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans’ door-to-door gun confiscation.

We must never forget the vision of armed government agents forcing their way into private homes and businesses and, at gunpoint, disarming innocent civilians of their only means of defense against the violent criminal anarchy that filled the vacuum left by a non-existent police presence.

Illegal guns? With an official edict by the top law enforcement officer in New Orleans—“No one is allowed to be armed. We’re going to take all the guns!”—every firearm owned by good and honest citizens instantly became an “illegal gun.”
