"Inaction On Gun Control"

That’s what many people decry. But they cant’ tell us WHAT action we should take, because there ISN’T any that will stop a single mass shooting from happening. They flail about demanding our politicians DO something, but nobody knows WHAT we should DO. Banning guns does not work. In the areas with the tightest anti-gun laws, the number of “gun deaths” is at the highest, anywhere. The City of Chicago is one of the best examples of this. In Chicago, ALL of their favorite anti-gun laws are in effect, but they are IGNORED by those who want to use guns to victimize people, as well as gang members who victimize each other, and any innocents who get in the way of their badly-aimed bullets. All their highly vaunted anti-gun laws do NOTHING to stop, or even slow down the “gun violence” in Chicago, or in any other city with similar laws. All they do is disarm the law-abiding, giving the lawless “free rein” to victimize them. Criminals love anti-gun laws because they tend to disarm their intended victims, and they don’t obey ANY laws, anyway. So why the hell should they obey an anti-gun law? So what good ARE the anti-gun laws if that’s all they do? What laws should we pass? They can’t answer. All they can do is rail against us for “inaction” on gun crime, without telling us what to do, since there is NOTHING that can be done if you merely blame the gun, rather than the hand that holds it.
