There are 300 million plus guns already out in circulation. How will anyone know WHEN I sold my guns (if I have any left after the boating accident)
or who I sold them to. I'm not required to keep any records. If you don't know where the guns are, how can you control the sales? This to me is a prelude to universal registration. This "compromise" will not work. Bad guys will still get guns, Newtown's will happen, and the liberals will come back and say we need more "common sense" laws because what we have are not working.There has been absolutely NOTHING done to prevent another Newtown. Some nut in Houston just hurt 14 people with an exacto knife. Where were the Police to protect the students. Students had to risk their lives by tackling this guy. It would have been easier if a CHL student had just shot the jerk.
From Jeffrey Snyder's "A Nation of Cowards" The copying of this article is legal.
This covers the majority of sheeple:
"It is impossible to address the problem of rampant crime without talking about the moral responsibility of the intended victim. Crime is rampant because the law-abiding, each of us, condone it, excuse it, permit it, submit to it. We permit and encourage it because we do not fight back, immediately, then and there, where it happens. Crime is not rampant because we do not have enough prisons, because judges and prosecutors are too soft, because the police are hamstrung with absurd technicalities. The defect is there, in our character. We are a nation of cowards and shirkers."
