24 pages of post and still simple minded buffoons are attempting to make the case for a land void of firearms regulations.
Then you haven't been paying attention.
I have asked for one thing in this whole thread, and I am still asking for it.
Show where gun control laws, any gun control laws, have in the history of this country, been shown to have a long term improvement on the crime rate.
I said before I am not silly enough to believe there will ever be no gun laws. The point is the same as it's been all along, that the argument for "common sense" gun laws is a sham used to incrementally add "common sense" laws one at a time until the stack is so high that practically everything is illegal.
I have not talked about repealing any law that is currently on the books, just made the claim that they don't seem to do any good.
No gun law is "common sense" because even the ones that seem to make sense at first glance have not had ANY impact on crime and in the end only keep guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens.
And in this whole thread I've been asking for someone to show otherwise and 24 pages later I have not seen one single post that offers any kind of evidence, statistic, etc from ANY source that any gun law has ever reduced crime long term.
Not even one.
I see people getting upset over guns for felons, I see people getting upset over selling machineguns at wal mart, I see people getting upset because they think the Gun Control Act of 1968 keeps nuclear weapons out of stores.
All I see are people latching onto the concept that somehow if there were no gun laws blood would flow in the streets, but they won't show ANY kind of real argument to stand behind it, especially once they realize that in this very country we had NO gun laws to speak of just about 40 years ago. People can't grasp that so they then say things like "well that was different". Then I ask HOW was it different and still nothing. More posts on "no nukes for felons".
But I have seen nothing to show that the laws already in place DO anything to make us safer.
Even the top law enforcement agencies own findings show that gun laws have little or no effect, and they show that the gun laws we DO have in place are not fully utilized.
Thank the Lord we have saner minds representing the rights of Americans citizens to keep and bear arms than some of the nutbags on this post.
Yes, we have people that want to require registration of all handguns, ban just about any semi automatic rifle configuration, require microstamping of ammunition, raise taxes on ammunition, require licenses to reload your own ammunition, ban all private sales of firearms, and end all firearm imports. Our current representatives have at one time or another lobbied for those things.
Yes, thank goodness those in power are of saner minds.
Only a CRAZY person from Texas would suggest that we have enough gun laws. Stop here. No more. They don't work. Stop passing new ones and enforce the ones you have.
No, only a lunatic would suggest such a thing so instead of debating him let's call him "crazy". Let's marginalize his argument, make him out to be a "nutbag, that way no one will listen. I've been insulted, attacked personally, even a veiled threat just in the course of this thread for daring to suggest that gun laws might not work.
That about sum it up to this point?
