The "Main Solution"

“Gun control is the main solution to domestic violence.” So sayeth L. A. Parker, in the Trentonian. But not the current method of “gun control,” as reflected in the current anti-gun laws that concentrate on IDENTIFYING the shooter AFTER he shoots, and probably kills someone. That’s NOT an “answer to domestic gun violence,” no more than are restraining orders, which are virtually worthless to stop somebody who is bent on breaking the law anyway. Parker says they are “just paper,” and have no effect. Laws that concentrate on identifying the shooter AFTER the crime is committed similarly are “just paper” and do NOTHING to restrain a would-be shooter. I’m fully in favor of “gun control.” The RIGHT kind, that concentrates on PUNISHING shooters who use guns to commit crimes more severely for using a gun. Not the kind that disarms ALL Americans who DO obey laws, while doing nothing to stop CRIMINALS (who DON’T obey laws) from getting and using them. Parker is well-meaning, but misguided, as are most anti-gun fools whose ideas get more people killed than anything else. (The Trentonian)
