[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any shotgun can be a deadly weapon if misused.

A person can literally make the ammunition for a black powder firearm at home.

How does registering any firearm prevent crime?  If it is so effective, why has DC had so much violent crime when it has had gun registration since the 70's?

The fundamental premise of "gun control " uniformly is that more and more laws somehow will result in less crime, but that never happens because, by definition, criminals do not obey the law.  Instead, decent people have their freedom abridged.

Endless debates about fanciful "solutions" does not move the ball down the field. Nor does the positing of practically and legally unenforceable draconian fantasies, especially those formulated with absolutely no understanding of how firearms work, what the present status of the law is, and what the actual utility of firearms is.

Decent people should not be deprived of the efficacious means of self defense because criminals misuse firearms.

What should we be doing to criminals to prevent them from misusing firearms and otherwise committing violent crimes?[/quote]

This all or nothing argument is what got is where we are.  You don’t get to tell me I don’t get to have a conversation about how to protect myself from a dangerous thing just because I don’t understand the inner workings of it.

Guns need more  common sense regulation, not less. More restrictions on purchasing, ownership, usage, storage, and fitness of the owner.  Decent people who want to ensure only decent people have access to dangerous weapons will surely  want to have a respectful and reasoned conversation with other citizens to make sure that we have safe and effective laws that keep guns from criminals.
