The Gun Control Farce

[Camile.Bidan]

How are the logistics of gun control going to work?

There at least 100 million legally owned guns in the United States and millions more on the black market.

I don't think those rednecks are just going to give their up their guns without a fight.

Gun control will probably be the spark that ignites these growing flames of separation in the United States.

You can grandfather the current policies to current gun owners. But just make any new sale or purchase fall under new policies. It doesn’t have to all be done at once. And in fact making gradual incremental changes will probably be more accepting.
All current gun owners would have to follow new policies if they wanted to sell any of their guns or buy new ones, but what they already have is good.

The country has plenty of gun control already. The issue is like any written law...everybody isn't gonna follow them. Only it isn't like jaywalking or driving 5mph over the limit;people get killed and hurt. The only logical step coming is a ban. If orgs like the nra(and the right in general) didn't bury their heads or go on the defensive a middle ground could more than likely be reached.

As it stands, I see more and more gun ban legislation coming down the pike. gop plays very bad politics when it comes to guns.

And the bans will still be laws written on books.....

The truth is....



Bans will never happen and extream restrictions wont happen either because

It's Not just the "right", rednecks, and nra that Loves their guns.... More than half of blacks, Latinos, whites, and liberals also feel the same way

I know, right? That's why murder isn't illegal; people kill other people all the time!

This makes literally no sense. Introducing gun restrictions at the federal level does not automatically ensure a ban. Why do people think that reasonable gun control undermines a democratic society?

Why do you think that the Fed can unilaterally enforce a ban without a vote?

I support the 2nd amendment and am a gun owner (something I think more Blacks should be; especially given current times and our history) but this essay was pretty weak. While I am not a gun control research wonk, there have been studies (though you can dispute those on either side) that claim show gun control lowers gun crime using accepted statistical data and analysis. Granted you can dispute methodologies or assumptions but there are papers and stats one can use to push either side of the issue.

Europe as a whole has had a lower violent crime rate than the US since the beginning--even before Blacks came to the cities in large numbers. The problem with Sowell's evidence is that the increase in robberies and the timing of gun control are hard to prove correlation and causation wise. Especially if robbers are using knives etc. Were English citizens carrying around shotguns for protection before gun control? Who knows. Also, the crime differential between London and NYC is not as helpful as a drop in gun violence based on gun control. He cites robberies while violent homicide numbers might be more informative.

Also this article leaves out gun suicides which are a huge cause of gun violence deaths among Whites that narrows the gap with Black homicide gun deaths substantially.

Why do I support the 2nd amendment? I believe responsible law abiding citizens should have the right and means to protect their homes and lives with lethal force if necessary, an armed citizenry is a check on the worst case scenario for a government, and these so-called "freedom loving" states rights White folks opposed Black gun ownership in segregation precisely because it helped them get away with what they wanted to do. The numbers are controversial. I believe gun ownership can reduce crime but only to an extent and I think the idea that gun ownership can solve mass shooters or school shootings is laughable.

I also realize the numbers clearly show that gun owners have as high a chance of killing themselves or a loved one accidentally shooting themselves than stopping an intruder. So the morale of the story is know how to use your gun (go to the range). Lock it up and keep it away from kids though accessible enough to grab in an emergency.

These dude think it's either everyone including crazy cacs can have any type of gun or no one at all can have a gun.

There is no grey area for these people.
One extreme or the other.

It's too bad that yall feel like this isn't possible without letting crazy mentally ill cacs have the rights too.
