"It Makes Sense Now?"

Sen. Joe Manchin (Democrat, of course) says,“ Gun control made sense in 2013 (after Sandy Hook) and it makes sense now.” Which shows his typical (for a Democrat) LACK of sense at either time. It makes NO sense to think a CRIMINAL or a CRAZY will obey a LAW that says he/she can't be armed. That's proven every day. It makes no sense to think that the way to self-defense is to DISARM YOURSELF. That's pure stupidity. Gun control (as we know it today) has NEVER “made sense,” and WILL never make sense. Because they're going at it from exactly the WRONG DIRECTION. They're limiting gun ownership for HONEST people while crooks and crazies never have any trouble getting their guns ILLEGALLY.

They need to punish USE of guns in a crime with longer prison sentences for USING a gun in the commission of a crime. That, at least, would keep potential gun violence perpetrators off the streets longer—if the cops would just quit using such laws as “throwaways” to get convictions in other crimes. If we made THAT illegal, we'd get a lot further in reducing gun violence. Removing illegality from gun ownership will NOT mean “more guns on the streets.” That's already happening, and most of them are in the hands of wrongdoers. It would mean that criminals would run into guns aimed at THEM when they try and rob an honest person. And that's good. (Breitbart)
