What an incredibly stupid hypothesis! How dumb do you have to be to believe that adding MORE gun laws to the thousands that already exist would keep a determined terrorist, thief, murderer, or madman from obtaining a gun ILLEGALLY?!?!? Are you really dumb enough to believe that a determined terrorist or someone disposed to commit mass murder would just shrug his shoulders and accept it if there was some new law preventing him from buying a gun legally?billbatard » 11 Dec 2019 4:30 pm » wrote:

But most importantly, we must learn to overcome our own misconceptions of the problem. As Kairys writes, “the common image of an underground, illegal market is largely fictional.” The ability of dangerous people to easily obtain guns is the result of
our weak gun laws, which do little to regulate the firearms industry. The good news? Significant progress can be made in reducing gun violence as soon as our elected officials are made to realize that “the loss of life, the economic and social costs, and the undermining of the safety and the quality of life in America are unacceptable.”
So tell me, genius. Did our laws against bomb-making equipment stop the Boston Marathon bombers from building them? Do you think more laws against buying the chemicals the terrorists used in the sarin gas subway bombing in Tokyo would have stopped them? Since rice cookers, machetes, pressure cookers, shrapnel bombs and samurai swords have all been used in recent terrorist attacks, should we also strengthen our laws against buying them too? There are perfectly sound reasons for using ANY of these tools, including guns, by law-abiding citizens! And the ONLY thing ever proven by adding new gun laws is that more law-abiding citizens will not be able to obtain them for those sound and legal reasons, including self-defense, hunting, and sport! You want to outlaw guns? Good for you! Go spend your time working to repeal the 2nd Amendment, and when you get the majority of the country to go along with that, please let me know! Deal?
