When it was tried, it resulted in an explosion of violent crime that rivaled Hiroshima.

The violent gang crime of Prohibition, some of it committed with then-perfectly-legal submachine guns, led to the National Firearms Act of 1934, which came this close >< to putting all handguns on the same terms as machine guns.

Thanks, Carrie Nation and Al Capone.

I tried to read more of this guy's blog, but I couldn't figure out how to navigate it and quickly gave up.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he just has a dark sense of humor, as many LEOs do after dealing with the dregs of humanity for years.

But the cop who thinks that "civilians" should not have firearms is not hard to find. Harris County has plenty of them. I don't doubt the other big cities of Texas do also.

These morons who abuse their freedom are providing ammunition to our opponents, and police officers (especially chiefs) who agree with them. This is not a hypothetical problem. Police unions and big-city police chiefs have influence in the Texas Legislature.

Excaliber, as usual, I agree with you.

Morons are going to be the death of us. What can we do about this? Bueller? Anybody?
