Mad Dog,
It is, already, the law that concealed guns must be permitted, that gun purchases cannot be made, legally, without a background check, and there are laws, in place regarding the safety of certain institutions, such as Columbine. There are also limitations on the types of weapons one can own, such as artillery pieces, atomic devices, etc., so there are no new laws needed, just the enforcement of those already on the books. The Congress can pass any law they want, and clinton or gore, can make any Executive Order, they can get away with, and it will not change the fact that criminals do not use legal guns to commit illegal crimes, in most cases. In the case of the demented teens in Columbine, they would have used the bombs, machetes, or baseball bats if they could not have gained possession of guns. It has been said before, but bears saying again. A gun is a few metal parts assembled together that cannot function, in any manner, unless a human hand picks it up, loads it, and pulls the trigger. Guns are NOT, the problem. The attitudes of certain people in these times are the problem. ~H~ |
