ORIGINAL: punisher440 I guess you only read the part of an article you can bend to support your views. quote:
Another large source of guns used in crimes are unlicensed street dealers who either get their guns through illegal transactions with licensed dealers, straw purchases, or from gun thefts. These illegal dealers turn around and sell these illegally on the street. An additional way criminals gain access to guns is family and friends, either through sales, theft or as gifts The present laws already make it illegal to purchase a gun to knowingly bypass certain laws[i.e. buying a gun for a convicted felon].If the gun laws were enforced that are already on the books and the criminals actually faced the full sentence for the crimes commited then maybe we might see a reduction.But when present laws are not enforced or applied piece-meal then why try writing more laws? I read the whole article, FYI in Columbine shooting the underage kids, had a friend buy them the weapons. In the Sandy Hook shooting the guns were just there, his mother never secured them. So the article is current. Are you so blind that you won't admit that those strawman purchases are already against the laws on the books now and until those laws are enforced making more laws only affect the law abiding citizens.If there were no guns in the entire world,people with the will to harm others will find a way to do so...example,Timothy McVeigh or Andrew Kehoe.Crazy people do crazy things..how about outlawing crazy people,problem solved. No I am not blind, funny you mention McVeigh..very pro gun, did not like the idea of gun control laws....Andrew Kehoe..didn't you use dynimite?
