They Lie. "The anti gun troops are out in force today. And, as always, they lie. When they say they only want “Reasonable compromise” and “common sense gun control” they lie. More below. After all, they’ve said that before. They’ve said “we just want this reasonable restriction, just that” time and time again. And every time, they’ve lied. The ink wasn’t even dry on the agreement when they started talking about it being a “good first step.'
* * * When they say “just reasonable, common-sense gun laws” they lie. When they say that gun control is to combat crime, they lie. When the Federal “Assault Weapons Ban” was passed, it had no detectable effect on crime. To be expected since rifles of all types, let alone those with the cosmetic features that ran afoul of this ban, were only used in a tiny number of crimes in the first place. When the AWB sunsetted, we saw no corresponding rise in crime. Indeed, none of the more than 20,000 gun laws currently in existence (counting Federal, and various State and local crimes) have had any positive impact on crime. Indeed, we see that starting in the mid-80’s where Florida’s “Shall Issue” carry permit law (the permit must be issued unless there is a clear legal reason not to) restrictions on people carrying guns have lessened. And yet violent crime is down. If gun control were about reducing crime, then lessening that control would have to lead to an increase. It doesn’t." The problem is all 20,000 laws are directed at the same law-abiding people, the people who do not use guns to commit crime. We do not need 20,000 gun control laws. This excess of gun laws makes it nearly impossible for police to know or understand all of these laws, which makes enforcement impossible. That is why this man fell through the cracks and ended up killing people in that Florida school. Layering ever more laws on the same law-abiding people cannot stop criminals from behaving criminally. The laws target the wrong people. "The best they can come up with is a shaky study where the States that have fewer gun laws have fewer “gun death”. What they don’t tell you is that the largest number of people killed by gunshot are suicides. And when a person is suicidal the availability of guns may affect choice of method; it doesn’t affect whether they’re suicidal. Where gun are more restricted the suicides are just as dead. They just choose other methods." The anti-gun crowd always includes suicide; it makes the statistics look much worse. They also like to claim that young violent drug criminals are children. But that is not true in any sense that the average American can understand. These young criminals are hardened, violent thugs not children. Be informed, read the whole thing.
