Thread: USA Gun Laws Poll

No gun law past or present would have prevented the coward from Colo. from placing improvised bombs in the theater (like he did in his home). It would have had a greater level of carnage without any doubt. Gun laws in America? Too many. Look at Chicongo Ill. They have had the strictest gun laws in the U.S. for many years and look at their murder rate. Look at D.C. Equally as strict gun laws and it has been the murder capital for many years as well. It was against the LAW to own a handgun in both places for many many years. Look what it did for the residents there. Look how it helped them to feel "safe". That in fact is all a gun law is for....To make the unarmed, uneducated populace of sheep feel safe. Cops aren't everywhere all the time. There are there to mop up the blood and write a report. We have laws on the books about "straw purchases" and our own Federal Govt. saw fit to break that law repeatedly, which resulted in Brian Terry (BP agent) getting killed with a straw purchased firearm. Tell me how that law, or any other when not followed by the general criminal populace or our own Govt. is going to change anything.........
