I want to add here... I am for the responsible ownership of guns... But...we are not being responsible and if we do not change eventually there will be a backlash that no gun owner will be happy with. Check THIS silly crap out... We as gun owners have problems...and our country has gun crime problems...ignoring the problems or over-reacting as above will only in the end mean more and stronger gun laws then were proposed just awhile back.

So we give up everything that is asked or else same deal my first wife's lawyer gave me, as a result she got nothing.
Yes you do live in a high crime area even back in the 70's when I lived in n Mo St Louis was considered a high crime cesspool. My immediate family has stopped over half a dozen crimes with guns both in the Midwest and in the South. I would agree that overreaching will cause a backlash, and we are seeing it now with Sheriffs all over the country challenging new gun laws and refusing to enforce them. It is the antigun crowd that has overreached. The link I gave you explains and tries to convince your side wanted to outlaw some 3 million guns, ar-15s being over a million of them.
Ah, the posturing Sheriffs, I saw them line up with all their grandstanding during the last gun law debate. Not sure some of them are quite bright enough to understand the law, let alone enforce it. If they refuse to enforce any federal laws, they'll end up in a Federal Court in front of judges who would not hesitate to put them in prison in contempt, and held there until they decide they aren't the ones who make laws. As for the claims of stopping criminals with the use of fire arms, there are few police officers that have ever discharged their weapons in the act of stopping crime, no personal offense, but sounds like BS to me! Those that enforce the laws are not above them, those that think they are normally learn that no matter how important they are in their county, outside of it, they are just another person, badge or not.
I agree that those Sheriffs who refuse to enforce the law are at best on shaky ground but as one pointed out if the feds won't let us enforce immigration law why should we have to enforce gun laws. Are not the President and AG equally bound to enforce the law, do you really want to open that can of worms by starting the prosecutions The ones who are suing to overturn laws are well within their rights. To echo KDsub I have to accept personal experience and in my family the ratio is about 6-1 in favor of stopping crimes using firearms. As for being overestimated non of those 6 were ever reported to the authorities so I have to believe that the number is grossly underestimated.
