Laws Absolutely Don't Work!
Chicago has some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the nation. Some of
them are so tough, they have been declared unconstitutional. Yet over
the July 4 weekend, 33 people were shot. I hate to keep harping on
this, but if I do, maybe some day somebody will actually notice, and
DO something about that. Where did the shooters GET their guns? And
how? ILLEGALLY, of course. Criminals don't obey laws. So laws making
it illegal to own guns only affect honest, law-abiding people, not
the criminals. So the only common sense way to reduce the deaths of
innocent people at the hands of those criminals is to give the
potential victims the ability to fight back.
That means allowing them
to have, and carry their own guns. Yes, that will INCREASE gun
violence—for a while—as those honest people kill the users of
illegal weapons who try to victimize them. Then it will go WAY down,
and stay there, because most of those who do that violence will be
dead. It's a simple solution, but one the anti-gun liberals won't
even hear of. They think if everybody was armed, they would shoot
each other over trifles—which criminals do, now. But, as Robert
Heinlein once said, “An armed society is a polite society,” for a good
reason. It will no longer be a case of an armed man against an
UNARMED person. All the current laws are USELESS to do the job for
which they are designed. They know that, but they keep making them.
If I had a dime for every time I've said this, I'd be a rich man, now.
But nobody's listening. (Chicago Tribune)
