That's were your argument logically takes us.


I never said that laws do no good and we shoudl get rid of them.
Where are getting this from? I said more laws are not going to help
this situation. Properly enforcing the ones we have will help and
trying to help people before hey go nuts instead of turning the other
way will help. Many people knew this kid was crazy but did nothing to
help.


Why is your opinion regarding different (more) laws different from that
regarding the laws we already have? - What's so good about the existing
laws (that apparently causes you to regard them differently than new
laws)? You're not being consistent when you say that more (or different)
laws would be useless, but we shouldn't cancel the ones we have.



Bill, you need to put away all that NRA propaganda for a few days and
listen to what OzOne, Capt., and Jonathan are trying to tell you. (Am I
right? - You ARE posting opinions based on what you have been reading in
NRA publications. - Right?)


No I don't read NRA publications. They are too extreme for me. I
watch the news, talk to people, look at statistics and talk to a lot
of criminal experts like my Dad who is a retired police officer,
criminal justice instructor, police academy D.I. and Police
consultant. There is also a really good freind of mine who is a
lawyer and gun owner that studied gun laws at Harvard law school,
among many other things and shares my opinion on the matter. I don't
get my opinions from liberal media but from experts.

If you are getting your information and opinions from police and from
Harvard law graduates, I'm impressed. But I think it's pretty well
accepted that most police chiefs in large departments favor more
restrictive gun regulations.
