Not any better than Prohibition stopped alcohol use or the war on drugs has stopped drug use.
The difference is the right to keep and bear arms is a Constitutionally protected right.
Anyone wanting to take Constitutional rights is anti-American.
... an epidemic of gun violence in general, in the United States.
***********
It’s not “gun violence”; its violent crime.
Not one of the proposed gun control laws will take guns out of the hands of criminals.
Each and every one of the proposed gun control laws will take guns out of the hands of upstanding citizens.
If seems that the left’s intent is to disarm the upstanding citizens of our nation while doing nothing about the criminals who use firearms to harm others.
To the lefty idiots out there, control the criminals. Put them in prison and keep them there.
Actually prosecute those who are rejected by the NICS system who attempt to buy a firearm with a felony conviction.
Any GOPer who does not support 2nd Amendment rights is dead to me.
These attacks have three dynamics, Desire/intent, ability, and opportunity. Victims can only control one of those, but congress is trying to legislate the other two.
ANY law that takes away from my rights under the Constitution are unjust and immoral!
“If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.”....T Jefferson
Gun control is about protecting bureaucrats and politicians from an outraged populace, not protecting the populace from crime.
The only effing thing Anti-Gun Laws do, is to disarm and make victims of Americans while enabling the Criminal, Illegal Alien and Terrorist elements to commit more crimes against us.
There is no gun violence, there is human violence and everything else follows.
Gun Control = Category Error. Banning guns is as silly as banning aircraft after 9/11 or Pearl Harbor.
They [Anti Gun Laws] are not intended to solve or prevent gun violence or crime in the United States of America. Their purpose is the total and complete disarming of the American Public. This they will do. Only the Government and its Agencies will be able to possess and use guns. If this is what you wish for, continue to allow Anti Gun Laws to be passed.
Gun control proceeds from a false argument. The starting premis is that there are too many guns. I believe that there are NOT ENOUGH GUNS!
A civilized society always can be described as the law abiding vs the criminal. In a well ordered society, the criminal fears the law abiding. The law abiding have two means of invoking fear to the criminal. Option 1 is via the use of specialized cititzens who capture, prosecute and incarcerate the criminals (law enforcement, courts, prisons, etc). The second option is when a citizen fights back. The best tool for fighting back is the gun.
Many surveys of prisoners has show that the criminal is more worried about the home owner with a gun than the police officer on the phone.
