Common sense and the instruments of crime.
Common sense and the instruments of crime. This article states the obvious to anyone with an open mind. It's amazing how ideological blinders prevent people from rational comprehension. My thanks to Paul Wright for this link. LINK
I would love to know if the gang member who killed this kid bought his gun legally, and if he had purchased more than one gun legally in the past month. Because if either of those answers is 'no,' (and I think we all know the answers to them) then the law is worthless.
As you suggest, it makes no sense to enact strict gun laws that only the law-abiding will obey. Like illegal drugs, firearms are readily available on the black market. Further, unlike drugs, guns can be rented or borrowed and returned.
