Silly Anti-Gun Ideas

The anti-gun fools come up with many silly ideas in support of their useless, unenforceable anti-gun laws. One of the silliest is the notion, by one state “lawmaker” (whose state I will not divulge, to keep from embarrassing them) who thinks the Second Amendment was written only for hunters and hunting. Another is that if background checks are instituted, there will no longer be “gun sales on the street.” How that politician thinks that will happen is not clear, as with all such ignorant comments. They think making somebody who fears being killed should WAIT until some nameless, faceless bureaucrat decided they’re waited long enough to get their gun to defend themselves is being made safer by that waiting period. Some time ago, a woman in Denver was threatened by an old boyfriend and tried to buy a gun. Faced with a mandatory waiting period, she went out and bought a gun “off the street,” illegally. A couple of days later she used that gun to kill the boyfriend when he came to kill her. She was not charged in his death, because it was a clear case of self defense. But she did spend some time in jail on illegal gun charges, but she’s still alive, which she would not be if she had sat back and waited until they “allowed” her to buy that gun legally. Which says to me, “Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.” (Just common sense)
