Perhaps enforce the laws already on the books and put the predators away?

There 20,000+ gun laws on the books and they have'nt stopped one shooting.
There are laws against rape and that hasn't stopped one rape..
There are laws against murder and murders still happen
There are laws against burglary/theft and they still occur
There are laws against hijacking and that didn't stop the devils.
There are laws against hostage taken and they took hostages
There are laws against destruction of property and they destroyed buildings
They stole the planes so theft laws did not stop them

Since they crossed state lines they were under Federal law, someone please tell me why we needed new laws?

So, what good are all the laws if only the law abiding obey them?

Be careful in embracing new laws because every new law restricts another freedom.

So, let's enforce the laws. How is that done? If you can't legislate a change of heart, how do you enforce what some have obviously chosen to ignore?
