Anti gun laws are so counterintuitive. By definition criminals don’t obey laws, so the goal of disarming criminals cannot be achieved.
You would think that the country learned something from Prohibition back in the 1930’s.
The law-abiding folks stopped their alcohol consumption. The law-ignoring folks kept right on drinking. And the criminal gangs made money.
Same thing with gun control.
You have to think like a communist. Guns make people independent. Violence makes them afraid and dependent—so the answer is more control over the lives of the citizens, for their own sakes of course. So more violence, more fear, more government. More government is the goal. Guns get in the way. Violence good; guns bad.
