Reply #62: Really? Me and a couple other gun control advocates here are the only ones who have. [View All]

We've proposed solutions which actually work in other countries. Of course the trick is to institute these solutions nationally; a miscreant in Chicago wouldn't be able to cross the street to a "lawful" weapons dealer barely outside the city's jurisdiction, most of who's business is with city residents. A criminal from New York wouldn't be able to go to a gun show to find a "private seller" because he knows no background check will be made. Gun runners in Texas wouldn't be able to export assault rifles to Mexico to fuel the drug wars.

What do we get in return? In return for telling the truth and offering real solutions? Denial. RW talking points. Conservative propaganda.

The basic problem here isn't really with these criminals, it's with the "gun enthusiasts" who deal with them. The "gun enthusiasts" who have no respect for the law - either in Mexico, or New York, or Chicago.
