In the “land of the free” of the United States, if ALL of the laws currently on the books could be enforced, we would be the most oppressed nation on earth.

Point in case - there are well over 20,000 gun laws actively in the books across the United States and, yet, NONE of them will prevent either the next gun-related crime nor will they stop the Congress, a state legislature or city council from adding more gun laws!!!

It’s time that our “legislators” STOP passing laws for the sake of passing laws that are more for show and justifying their jobs!! It’s time that the laws we have either be repealed if they are unenforceable or that they are enforced. Passing more laws that do nothing is pointless and ONLY opens the door for someone to, eventually, try to enforce them all.

Then, we will rue the day when everyone is in jail and no one can bail us out.

and every law passed should have a sunset provision. Like the Bush Tax cuts.
