You really think you can go down to your local gun store and buy a machine gun? I don't think so. Actually you can. But it's not quite that simple. You have to pass a rigorous FBI background check which takes about 6 to 9 months. And you have to pay for a Federal permit to own such a weapon. The permit, last I knew, cost around $400 in fees, tax, and msc. charges per gun. You can also buy almost any gun with a silencer as well, if you are willing to pay the fees and can pass the same background check. What's truly interesting is that those guns never get used in the commission of a crime. It's all the illegally-circulating ones that do. Max |

Why have any laws at all, Max. They all get broken. Making murder a
criminal offense doesn't stop all murders from happening as far as I can tell. So why make it a crime? So it's all or nothing with you. people will always break the law so making something illegal does not abolish the problem forever. It only restricts those who are law abiding from taking those actions. Making gun ownership illegal will only stop law abiding citizens from owning them, not criminals. Criminals are the one that break the law so it would do nothing to solve the problem. |

Clearly, the system (whatever is currently in place) is inadequate, given what happened. I haven't heard one peep from you and those like you about any realistic solution nor even a willingness to look at rational options. First I never said we should just have completely unfettered access to guns. I never even implied such a thing. In fact I have said several times that I think we should put more energy into enforcing the laws we have instead of adding more laws to the mix. The ones we have are adequate but not enforced 100%. I also see this as a very exceptional case that should not spark an over emotional response into doing something that would hurt more people than it would help. There is no evidence that banning guns will stop violent crimes. I am not saying we should just let eveyrone have all the guns they want. I never did but you just get all emotional and think what you want instead of actually looking at what people are saying. |

The current laws do not rise to that level. The assault rife ban is a case in point.
