GUN-CONTROL LAWS DON’T REDUCE CRIME, BUT THEY DO REDUCE EMPLOYMENT.

Some governors don’t care and are pushing for more pointless statutes that put their citizens’ jobs on the line. Smarter governors sense the opportunity to poach a few manufacturers from their colleagues.

He’s upset that his own “Sandy Hook Advisory Commission” and the General Assembly’s bipartisan gun control task force aren’t moving fast enough to ram through gun-control measures before the memory of the Newtown tragedy fades.

A broken society is a violent society and guns do not provide a fixed society, it is an adaptation to the broken society... Not a cure and a society without a cure to the brokeness it suffers is a society which ought to break totally and completely so to make way for a better society to rise from the ashes. History speaks of this as being a more socialist society... Sucks for your side doens't it?

The few towns that did have these laws were the towns with problems. Hmmmm sorta like Chicago. Instead of watching TV why don't you try some research. One of the famous towns with these laws had a actual shootout, several them. And that was AFTER these laws were put into effect. So Bobby, how did that work out for them then? How does it work for Chicago? In all of the 19th century there were less people killed in shootouts then ONE YEAR of Chicago present day violence.

Cross that line carrying a gun and you could wind up dead. It was a "reasonable" reaction to groups of young men, sometimes no more than boys, who, after spending months of sleeping on the ground, eating lousy food, doing hard work, with low pay, no women, little sleep, and hours of sitting in a saddle on a horse who tried every morning to disembark them, tended to want to party, and in a serious way.
