Oh,..OK.
I guess we'll give up something and have an instant background check before we can buy a gun.
Oh, wait, we already gave that up.
Alright, lets give up being able to buy a gun by mail, and have to fill out federal paperwork. (Gun Control Act of 1968)
Oh, we already gave that up also.
Well, we can submit to an "assualt weapon ban", and see how that goes.
Um, hey, we did that too, and it didnt change anything, but at least it had a sunset date.
We're always asked to "give a little", but many that want us to give keep admitting that they know it wont really change that much, "but we have to start somewhere". Well, if what they are asking for is the start, where do they plan to end? I have an idea. Maybe if all the guns are kept in a central location, and you can go check them out to go to the range or go hunting, since its too dangerous to have them at home or "on the streets" whatever that means. (none of my guns have ever been "on the streets", that I'm aware of) Guess what they'd be asking us to give up when keeping guns in a central location didnt work, even if the guns used in a crime weren't kept at that safe location?
The old story about throwing one passenger off the sleigh to the wolves to appease them not working, as once you give in, they only want more, is really true. We've already given in to many "common sense" restrictions, yet they continue to want more when what they asked for didn't have the result they desired.
