"There Oughta Be A Law!"

There should be a law against crooks stealing guns right out of the holsters of the cops. Wait--there ARE laws against that. Basic laws against thievery of all kinds. Guns, too! But, with all the laws against it, that's what's happening in Japan, which is one of the tightest places in the world for anti-gun laws. In Toyama, Japan, a cop was stabbed to death and his gun stolen. I'd bet there are laws against that, too. But did ANY of them do anything to save this cop's life, or keep his gun out of the hands of a criminal? That is the basic flaw in ALL their highly touted anti-gun laws. They don't work. We need to find some kind of a law that WOULD work, and I'd even support it. But, NO! There ISN'T such a law. Even if you ban guns completely, criminals will still get theirs. Their "pipeline" will just increase, and it will become even easier for them to get their guns, and they will then be able to victimize the law-abiding with even greater ease. (Japan Times)
