Never A Legal Gun

Whenever I see a report of some gun violence, especially mass shootings, I look (in vain) for them to tell me if the gun or guns used was or were legally owned. I presume that's because they want us to think that ALL “gun violence” is committed by people who have a legal right to own their guns because “guns are so easy to get legally.” But that really doesn't matter because it doesn't really matter if the guns are legally-owned. If they're legally owned, that means their “laws” did NOT stop the perp from getting a gun. If the gun is ILLEGALLY owned, that means their laws wouldn't have stopped him from getting a gun, because they didn't. It shows that gun laws, as now written, DO NOTHING to keep guns out of the hands of people who wish to do bad things with them. “Gun-free zones” are useless because they are an OPEN INVITATION to a perp to come in and do his shooting, and be pretty sure there will be no guns already there to stop him.

Lists of legal gun owners don't do anything because criminals, and people who want to be criminals, don't register their guns. Furthermore, all they do is (maybe) allow the cops to find the perp LATER and arrest him, which does NOTHING to stop gun violence. The people who are, “oh, so concerned about gun violence” need to rethink the DIRECTION in which ALL their so-called “gun laws” are aimed is wrong. It penalizes only the LEGAL OWNERS of guns while doing NOTHING to keep guns out of the hands of CRIMINALS, who don't obey laws, anyway. Instead of keeping guns out of the hands of HONEST people, they need to punish the USE of a gun in a crime. And don't tell me there are already laws on the books to do that, because the authorities consistently use them as “throwaways” to get convictions in other crimes. We need to make a law to ensure ENFORCEMENT of these laws, therefore punishing the CRIME, not the innocent victim. Start doing that, and I will no longer be an ENEMY of “gun laws.” (Just common sense)
