If you sell a gun to a prohibited person you are committing a felony. People willing to commit a felony won't suddenly start caring about the law if you outlaw private sales.Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03425962910696301026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-875234458036839182009-11-20T23:22:32.286+01:002009-11-20T23:22:32.286+01:00kaveman, I'm agreeing with you all over the pl...kaveman, I'm agreeing with you all over the place tonight.

But if the laws about registering the guns and doing background checks on all transfers were stricter, he wouldn't be able to do that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-2612130364876791392009-11-20T18:32:15.248+01:002009-11-20T18:32:15.248+01:00The laws are aimed at the lawful gun owner and the...<i>The laws are aimed at the lawful gun owner and they should be made strict enough to better encourage that lawful gun owner to not allow the gun to pass to the criminal.</i><br /><br />Why keep repeating this BS MikeB?<br /><br />It is a FELONY for a lawful gun owner to sell or otherwise transfer a gun to a criminal (prohibited person)<br /><br />If there's a transaction occurring in which both parties are committing a felony what makes you think they'll care if we pass yet another law prohibiting such behavior?<br /><br />Even if the penalty were death I doubt it'd be a substantial deterrent.<br /><br />At least you admit all your BS restrictions are really meant to curtail my rights rather than stop criminals.Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03425962910696301026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-62851560582129354842009-11-20T18:15:19.177+01:002009-11-20T18:15:19.177+01:00"Norris says he had the pistol because he pla..."Norris says he had the pistol because he planned to remove the ammunition before fire inspectors arrived to examine new sprinklers."<br /><br />This doesn't pass the smell test.<br /><br />There's more to this story.kavemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-36148796620157654992009-11-20T15:06:46.843+01:002009-11-20T15:06:46.843+01:00Sorry MikeB, but you folks (and the media) have ro...Sorry MikeB, but you folks (and the media) have routinely demonstrated you have no clue what you're talking about.Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03425962910696301026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-87501718847655520522009-11-20T13:34:37.504+01:002009-11-20T13:34:37.504+01:00AztecRed, That's a good point.

The law against speeding is not aimed at those who are so disobedient or criminal that they won't cooperate but rather it's aimed at the law abiding who will. Fewer incidents of speeding happen because many of the law abiding drivers slow it down for no other reason than to avoid the sanctions. That's exactly how gun control works.<br /><br />There you've done it, you've forced me to participate in one of these comparisons that I hate so much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-54499342111262478962009-11-20T07:48:29.142+01:002009-11-20T07:48:29.142+01:00In the Kalifornia, I wouldn't be surprised if ...In the Kalifornia, I wouldn't be surprised if it really were an "illegal" weapon. If it's not on their list of approved handguns, it's illegal.<br /><br />"The laws are aimed at the law abiding."<br /><br />Which is about as pointless as giving speeding tickets to people aren't speeding. <br /><br />"The laws are aimed at the lawful gun owner and they should be made strict enough to better encourage that lawful gun owner to not allow the gun to pass to the criminal."<br /><br />It's already illegal to give a gun to a criminal. You're advocating a solution to a problem that already has one.AztecRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027951757285806109noreply@blogger.com
