They'll be as effective as Prohibition, the war on drugs, stopping illegal immigration, stopping drunk driving deaths, etc. In other words - not effective at all. Just another bloated, expensive, failed government program. Oh, but this one would have the added bonus of being un-Constitutional and infringing upon our inalienable rights to defend ourselves. For the big-government socialist with fascist leanings, what's not to like?
A more stable economic environment, less government intrusion, and freedom to worship God without atheists screaming to take down nativity scenes would be good for starters...might have a whole lot less shootings. People are simply reacting to the hostile environment they’ve been placed in. When the stressors hit a breaking point out comes the nuttiness...
The reason it hasn’t gotten much better is we only have 20,000 gun laws on the books.....we need 20,001 laws, yep, that will do the trick....
It’s not just big government bureaucrats pushing this garbage. I heard a criminal defense attorney from Jacksonville on my radio morning drive show this morning who was espousing a new AWB to “fix the problem of mass shootings.”
I was literally screaming at my radio. She was so ill-informed, even quoting Heller saying that “the Supreme Court only supported handguns.” I’ll be penning a nasty email to the morning show’s producer to make sure that nutbag never gets on that show again, even though I know it’s likely folly.
The attorneys in this country are as liberal as the rest of the lot, and I fear for our nation if moonbats like this liberal moron from Jacksonville are out there lobbying the lawyers in Congress to do something like this when history and statistics prove the laws are not only worthless but burdensome on gun owners and the law-abiding.
