Most of would be happy if the Government would enforce the bloody laws that are already on the books. But they don't want to do that.
They pass feel-good legislation when something like this happens- laws that infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens - and then move on to something else. If anyone IS ever charged under the law, he's let off.
Case in point- The Brady Bill- backgroung checks required to prevent ex-cons etc from buying arms from dealers.
Great idea right?
As far as I know, only one man has ever been brought to trial under this law. Yet, Bill Clinton bragged that over 400,000 ineligible purchasers were stopped from buying guns in 1999. Most of these were ex-cons who were in violation of their paroles by even attempting to buy a gun.
Why were they not prosecuted? No good answer has ever come from the Government. I assume that the situation is similar under the Bush administration.
We don't need more gun laws. We need enfrocment of the laws that are already on the books.
Sorry about the thread creep.
