If no proof is possible, what is the reaso...@Mikeb,<br />If no proof is possible, what is the reason for trying the same things over and over again?<br /><br />You <b>believe</b> that proper laws and enforcement would cut down on gun availability, with no evidence but your own faith, AND you're not even considering the negative side effects of these policies.<br /><br />What you're basically trying to say is, "I know this has never worked anywhere else, but we all need to have faith it will work here."<br /><br />Can you explain the logic behind trying something that's never been proven to work?<br /><br />...Orygunner...Orygunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829265216321634830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244429840819942033.post-75638375016351881862011-01-30T01:12:53.033-08:002011-01-30T01:12:53.033-08:00Orygunner, The more I read you the more I like you...Orygunner, The more I read you the more I like you. I believe you're a good guy. But, it seems a bit tricky for you to demand proof where you know none is possible. That's why we need to use our heads and strive to avoid close-minded opinions.<br /><br />Your idea, which is certainly not unique to you, that laws don't affect the criminals doesn't hold water. My ideas of proper gun control laws are mainly aimed at the law-abiding because of the very fact that you rightly point out, we couldn't very well expect criminals to obey. Proper laws properly enforced would cut down on the gun availability in the black market which now exists and would therefore disarm some of the bad guys. Gradually through attrition this would increase.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244429840819942033.post-41761836248121566082011-01-26T08:16:52.107-08:002011-01-26T08:16:52.107-08:00@Mikeb,
Evidence, please?
If gun control really ...@Mikeb,<br /><br />Evidence, please?<br /><br />If gun control really helps, shouldn't there be some evidence? After all, gun control to some degree has been implemented in most countries in the world. Can you provide ANY examples where gun control was introduced and the firearm-related crime rate went DOWN as a result?<br /><br />I can show you several cities and countries where it doesn't, and in the few I've found that DO show a decrease, a) NON firearm-related violent crime goes down at almost exactly the same rate, and b) there are other factors involved causing the effect on the crime rate.<br /><br />...Orygunner...Orygunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829265216321634830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244429840819942033.post-15567360682494264462011-01-26T07:49:53.060-08:002011-01-26T07:49:53.060-08:00I agree.
