Why is it that every few years we get all kinds of promises about new guns laws being an answer to prayer?  Why is it that they all tout how these new laws are going to dramatically cut crime rates?  Why is that they never do?  Simple, you can pass all the laws you want and the criminals won’t obey them.  If this somehow surprised you you need to remove your head from your posterior.  Criminals by definition break laws.  You can pass 100 laws saying that you cannot kill people and they will still kill people.  There is no silver bullet law that will get all the criminals on board and end crime.  It’s just like prohibition and the completely bogus "War on Drugs".  If you ban it only the criminals will have it.  Can anyone honestly say that there are no illegal drugs available?  Does anyone seriously think that guns will be any different?  As soon as they are outlawed the black market will pick up the slack and then the only people that won’t have them are the people that you didn’t have to worry about in the first place.

We need to convince Congress to pass common sense gun laws — laws that punish immoral gun dealers and protect our citizens," he said

Whenever they call them "common sense gun laws", that’s a red flag that they contain no sense at all.  Wait, Wait, Wait Tom…. You forgot to add an "It’s for the children" at the end to get all the overly emotional fools to jump on board.

We coddle criminals and punish the guns, All the while making it harder and harder for the law abiding gun owner to simply enjoy the sport he loves and defend him/herself and family.
