No. I say enforce current gun laws. New gun laws will only serve to disarm the law abiding citizens, not the criminals. Gun control is an oxymoron.knc

Just as a hypothetical... would you oppose stricter gun laws in metropolitan centers?


Where is the scientific evidence to support stricter gun laws? Or is it just "common sense"? Hypothetically, if you supported self-defense rights, wouldn't gun laws be minimal?

The constitution of the U.S. grants the right to own and carry arms.

The words gun law, gun permit, gun licence. In effect say that if you don`t have one of these. For you to own or carry arms is illegal.

I ask you how can a right ever be illegal?

And if one right requires a permit. Which right is next?

You have a permit to say that?

You are black do you have a permit to be here?

The right to bear arms is the right that protects all the others.
