Gun Question

[Elbow]

Im a liberal who carries a 9mm. The typical gun owner arguments sound absolutely ridiculous to me. I just want the damn thing to defend my family and property from intruders or anyone else who intends to do me harm. The government (red, blue or otherwise) is not out to get you.

The right to bear arms will not go away... It'll just become increasing hard to purchase (between taxes and additional requirements). For example, in NY the process to qualify for a gun permit was so annoying that I wouldn't have bothered. I think it takes up to 6 months. You should expect the same to become true in GA at some point, and I can't say I disagree with that method of discouragment.

adding more red tape doesnt solve anything. An AR can kill just as bad as a Glock. Killers will take the path of least resistance, make it harder to get AW, theyll use handguns, outlaw handguns, theyll use knives, outlaw knives, they will use cars.

Cant stop a killer.

We should make it easier for law enforcement to track purchased guns, and we should have the same standards of laws on the purchase of firearms whether used or not. Banning or outlawing or heavily restricting wont do anything. It never has.

Banning Corvettes wont stop speeding.

DUI laws dont stop drunk driving.

The very nature of laws are to give society a line to know what to cross and what not to cross, and to take care of people who cross that line. No laws are designed to STOP a criminal from doing a crime, thats why they are criminals. Making Bank Robbery illegal, doesnt stop bank robbers. It just allows us to lock them up AFTER we catch them. Likewise banning guns wont stop gun related crimes. Guns are here, they arent going anywhere. MILLIONS are sold every year.
