”If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of crime rates reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying — that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 — establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime.” – Senator Orrin Hatch
The Editors’ Quote of the Day:
Of coarse the Honorable senator from Utah stops short of calling for a repeal of the NFA. It might upset his lefty friends.
That’s one in a row for the old buzzard…….as far as it goes.
Gun control might be a good idea, but lets not experiment on everyone. Lets try it on gun control advocates’ secret service and body guards for a few years (wonder what Hillary’s secret service expenses are) and revisit after we have collected some data. Drug laws are so great for society why shouldn’t gun laws work similarly well?
100% right! The first gun control is removing the ability of the gun grabbers to have their own Armed bodyguards. No more letting them get away with removing our rights while they keep theirs.
Gun control is about control. DUH!
A comment attributed to Clint Eastwood goes something like this:
If there is a gun around I want to be in control of it.
