Does Gun Control Work?

Mexico doesn’t have a Second Amendment. So the government can ban guns at its whim—and it does. A legal gun is almost impossible to get in Mexico, but there is no shortage of guns there. They just get them illegally. You know that. I know that. But politicians, who have the responsibility to make laws that protect the rest of us—do NOT know that. Else they would not make so many useless, unenforceable laws that only stop the law-abiding from getting guns with which to defend themselves against the bad guys, who have no trouble getting their guns illegally. That fact was never so obvious as it was in a bar in Veracruz, Mexico, where a bunch of thugs came in looking for a specific person to kill, and wound up killing seven men, five women, and a CHILD. Nobody opposed them because the law-abiding OBEY gun laws, even if they think (truthfully) they are stupid. So they die, from the stupidity of the politicians, who just don’t understand a simple thing: disarming yourself is not the best way to defend against illegal gun-wielding bad guys. I know that, and you know that, but those responsible for making laws do NOT know that. Or they do, and they just don’t care. (Reuters)
