Why So Cocksure?

A woman asks a pro-gun activist, “Why are you so cocksure gun control doesn’t work?” The answer is simple: it doesn’t. Not the way they do it today, and yesterday. They aim at the guns themselves, as if they were dangerous in, and of themselves. In so doing, they create more and more UNARMED VICTIMS for criminals, who don’t OBEY laws, to victimize. It’s logical. They impose “gun-free ones,” which mean NOTHING to criminals, who carry their guns into them, anyway—because they don’t care about “gun-free zones” and regard them as “shooter-free zones” where there will not be any guns there to oppose them as they victimize those who OBEY laws and rules. It’s not “gun control” that doesn’t work, it’s the DIRECTION in which gun controllers go in “controlling gun violence” by limiting ownership and use of guns for SELF-DEFENSE, while doing nothing to PUNISH the USERS of guns in the commission of a crime. If they aimed their efforts in that direction, I’d be all for “gun control.” But not the “gun control” as they now use it. (Extrano’s Alley)
