So what is your point? That we shouldn't have any laws because people will break them?


My point is that we don't need anymore gun control, because it's not going to work. And if you can't understand that then you're too stupid to be here.

We can't completely eliminate crime but we can reduce it.


Even if that statement made any sense, it couldn't possibly work in America. There's no way to reduce crime with gun control, because there's no link between widespread legal gun ownership and gun crime rates.

And if you don't believe me, then fill out a request under the Freedom of Information Act to find a study that proves gun ownership contributes to crime and see what results you get. You won't find anything though, because no such study exists and that just goes to prove that targeting the law-abiding provides nothing more than feel-good legislation that does nothing to save lives.

And until there IS such a study, that's in absolutely no way connected with the Joyce Foundation, continuing to state that more gun control will save lives will be the exact same as an outright lie.

Let's use your own logic against you. Texas has a lot of guns, but they've still got crime problems. So no matter how many guns you have, somebody will always find a way to break laws and do what they're not supposed to do.


Isn't that basically human nature?

At least in Texas you have a better chance of defending yourself than in Washington D.C. or Chicago.
