I have been exposed to even more of the worlds crazies and dictators and the common denominator is the desire and need for gun control so they can work unimpeded.
And exactly what gun control law has ever slowed down crime? It has been shown over and over that only the law abiding follow those laws, and many of the law abiding do not. Look at the number of illegally owned pistols in NYC that are owned by law abiding citizens only wanting to protect themselves and their homes.
No law outlawing or restricting guns will work any better than the laws outlawing drugs. The only thing a law does is show an anti gunner that, that one didn't work so the next must be stricter and more draconian. Do not fall into that trap. It is hte proverbial "nose of the camel" that they love to wedge in for the next incremental "common sense law".
A quick example, you can not own a full auto weapon without a "special license", but any gang banger can have one to use against you. The old adage, whay own an assualt rifle because....... is as valid as why own a car that can go faster than the speed limit. And those dam things, along with doctors, kill more than any gun, let alone an assualt rifle.
Off the soap box.
