of course they dont, someone that is going to murder someone isn’t going to follow a gun law.
If gun restriction laws worked, wouldn’t it make more sense to pass some HOMICIDE RESTRICTION LAWS making it illegal to kill someone?
It only emboldens the prevalent now violent gun which is now more so poised to commit nefarious deeds on a non suspecting and now disarmed gun.
We’ve known that forever...geez...
Seriously. Duh. That's why they call these people criminals, because they break the laws.
In other news.... Water is wet!
Societal decay doesn’t give a rip about gun laws.
I think they are confusing being shot with getting a shot.
Absolute crap statistic. 15 year old gangbangers are not "children".
“Man he said, does not behave as his Creator intended, therefore laws have to be laid down to govern his behavior”. Leonard Wibberly, “Meeting With a Great Beast”. So after quoting that little colloquialism, what does a civilized society do when a person not only does not behave as his Creator intended, but also does not follow the laws laid down to govern his behavior?
We have known this since before 1968. But the onerous 1968 gun control law was still passed.
The purpose is to ban all guns. One step at a time.
The lies we have been told over the years...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America (ABC) screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984, they came for the rifles.
1989 George Bush sr. bans import of “assault rifles”
1994 Clinton “bans” Assault rifles for ten years, And banned the “Street Sweeper” revolving shotgun.
2004 calls for a ban on single shot .50 cal rifles.
2023 Biden: “We are going to ban assault rifles!”
If they can get any sort of a ban and make it stick, they will then use that to go after their original target, HANDGUNS. They are never satisfied.
1988,Josh Sugarmann, of the National Council to Ban Handguns tells how to ban rifles.
“Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over
fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons
—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine
gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on
these weapons.”
– Josh Sugarmann
From 1976.
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.(Now the Brady Center)
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”(Now rifles added)
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.
Shocked face time yet again......😴😴😴😴😴😴
I have to laugh at this thinking as he inent of gun laws is to make it hard for criminals to get them.
Between 2017 and 2021 there were 1,922,577 requested crime gun traces, of which ATF was able to determine the purchaser in 77% (1,482,861). That means they could not trace 23% of the guns they had recovered. It also means there will be more out there with crimes that they have no idea who they belong to because they haven’t seen them yet.
So maybe it’s past time to think on how we think on guns. If almost half of the guns used in crimes are not traceable thus not purhased legally in the US, does the light bulb go on? We shouldn’t restrict legal owners and sellers and go after those illegally selling them. Stop putting laws on honest people and go afer the crooks on the street corners. Rocket science.

The murder rate reflects the demographics and culture of a population not gun availability. One can murder someone with any number of things like a rock, knife or bare hands.
Bookmark.
The government must prohibit the consumption of fowl and fish lest someone chokes on a bone and perishes.
They were surprised for a quarter of a century as gun/ammo sales went up and up and violent crime went down.
Recently, thanks to defund the police, Soros DA;s and BLM-
8000 or more bravo mikes have been murdered than what would’ve been expected if the decline had continued unabated.
Two ‘restrictions’ lead to lower gun violence:
1) Having a ‘less-diversified’ voting pool.
2) Voting Red
The more a state is with those two characteristics, the less violence they’ll have.
That simple.
Well, of course they don't. That was never their purpose.
"Gun Control" is about disarming the law-abiding population so that the rulers can freely do things for which people would rightfully shoot them.
It is all about "public safety". Theirs, not yours.
