We all know there are a lot of people wanting to take away our constitutional right of owning/bearing firearms. These people are very naive to say the least. Not only are they completely stupid of the fact that shooting is a great family sport and wonderful American Tradition, but the fact that they think stopping the sale of firearms, ammunition or both is going to disarm the criminal. A criminal obeys nothing but his own twisted desires. He is ALREADY NOT conforming with the laws of the land. DUH-HUH...he's a CRIMINAL!! TV news reports about drug busts ALWAYS show guns....LOTS of guns. I supposes the Brady's believe all these guns were bought at your local gun store/show and are registered to the owners..right? Yeah right! N-A-I-V-E....Many times, these guns are fully automatic mac-10's, UZI's and so forth, which are ALREADY ILLEGAL TO OWN since when...the 1930's?? And only now legal with the proper BATF license!!!! WHEW! This just wears me out! Not to mention PMO!!
One argument I've always used with these very ignorant people that usually leaves them stuttering, which I haven't heard used during gun control debates, is how impossible it is to disarm criminals in the first place. This is where the war on drugs comes in. I'm 53 years old and have watched this country's "war on drugs" for the past 35 years. You know what? The drugs seem to be more dangerous, in larger quantities and easy to get than ever.....in other words it's worse now than it ever has been!! 35 years of fighting to get substances off the streets that a trained dog can smell from 100 ft, through water, steel, cow dung. Police agency's brag how these dogs can smell illegal drugs through a vacuum! The crap is bulky, hard to handle, easily recognized, but still it comes into this country by the METIC TONS each year!!
Now lets look at gun smuggling. If our guns are ever outlawed, these same people that are smart enough to smuggle these hard to handle, bulky, dog sniffleable illegal drugs for an enormous profit, will now have another form of contraband to sell (some already do I'm sure!!). An unoiled gun smells like the materials they are made from.....Steel, plastic, carbon, etc.....just like 95 % of the stuff in our houses!! This takes the dogs out of the equation. How many guns would a capped 24"x30' aluminum/steel/iron pipe hold? How many tractor trailers do you see going down the highway loaded to the max with pipes this size or larger? Smuggling guns would be a cakewalk for these people. Our government cannot even slow the drug smugglers, so how would they ever stop illegal guns from entering this country? They won't.....They would only give criminals the upper hand they have long desired. If you were a car-jacker, rapist, armed robber, would you feel better/safer/bolder knowing theres a 95% chance your intended victim you are planning to highjack/rape/rob are unarmed, or knowing there's a 95% chance that they have a .45ACP in their possession? I think we all know the answer to that one. If our guns were ever taken away....I'm sure the criminals would be dancing in the streets. Hmmmm....with that thought in mind....I wonder who they vote for?
Sorry for the long post, but thanks for letting me vent my frustrations!!!!
