Third gun control bill proposed since Tucson shootings
• www.rawstory.com/closes the "fire sale loophole," which permits unauthorized gun dealers to sell firearms at gun shows and allows buyers to purchase them without an otherwise mandatory FBI background check.
Which one's will the NRA help pass this time?
Gun control is going in the wrong direction.
Police are people. Police are often not on the scene on time to defend people against others who want to harm them with a gun (or any other way).
Since police are only people, all people should be required to pack guns to protect themselves from anybody who wants to harm them.
This is real gun control. It controls the guns that the bad guys use by controlling the bad guys. And it controls the guns the good guys use, because the good guys don't use the guns in bad ways anyway.
Require everybody to pack.
You miss the larger point that guns are most useful to protect us against tyrannical government and that includes cops.
Someone recently proposed a law that would prohibitcarrying a firearm within 1,000 yards of elected officials.
Wouldn't it be much better (certainly easier to enforce) to prohibit politicians from coming within 1,000 yards of firearms?
