Criminals disregard these laws anyway. Stop replacing officers on the streets with useless laws that ALWAYs end up being used in manner of "unintended consequences" against law abiding citizens.Ed Hoythttp://blogalwarning@wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-74191916628158824392010-12-04T10:57:43.233+01:002010-12-04T10:57:43.233+01:00TS, It's hard to show that.

I believe the gun violence in California would be worse if not for their strict laws.<br /><br />About the criminals not obeying laws, you guys should give it a rest. You've seen my answer to that a number of times.<br /><br />No one says one criminal won't still sell a gun to another criminal regardless of how strict the laws become. But what would be affected is the point at which the gun passes from the world of legitimate gun owners, your world in other words, to the criminals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-89798187256523196842010-12-03T18:24:39.038+01:002010-12-03T18:24:39.038+01:00MikeB: “What's needed is licensing of all gun ...MikeB: “What's needed is licensing of all gun owners and registration of every gun plus no private transfers without a background check. That's haw to significantly make a difference in Portland's violence.”<br /><br />Since most of that is in effect in the entire state of California, you should be able to show us how enacting those initiatives made a significant difference in California’s violence.TSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-35150568011465778792010-12-03T15:53:47.103+01:002010-12-03T15:53:47.103+01:00I also notice that you applaud Portland for breaki...I also notice that you applaud Portland for breaking the law.

It is not too late to get help with your mental illness of hoplophobia. <br /><br /><i>"What's needed is licensing of all gun owners and registration of every gun plus no private transfers without a background check."</i><br /><br />Quite right. Because gang bangers will be glad to call in for a background check every time they sell a stolen gun to their buddies. And we'll know too because criminals will all register their guns. Good job. That'll help.<br /><br />Enjoy your "minor victory" because Oregon has common sense State Pre-emption and these local ordinances are just symbolic gestures for the gun control crowd. They will not be enforced.FatWhiteManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946272184958991397noreply@blogger.com
