He covers his face, but his cover slips off. The store clerk sees his face. The felon is facing +-20 years for armed robbery, and the death penalty for buying a gun. Why would he not shoot and kill the store clerk?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-33896725951432432162012-12-27T13:34:07.014+01:002012-12-27T13:34:07.014+01:00Yes, just like with illegal drugs, we track down t...Yes, just like with illegal drugs, we track down the dealers and arrest them. We illegal gun sales, we outlaw tracking down the dealers, because we have no registration of serial numbers. <br /><br />Gunsucks sell guns to criminals using the gun show loophole. We should track these gunsuck criminals down, convict them, and execute them swiftly. Sales of guns to felons should be a capital offense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-4486263094669479232012-12-27T05:10:56.570+01:002012-12-27T05:10:56.570+01:00Mikeb wrote, "The proliferation of handguns a...Mikeb wrote, "The proliferation of handguns and the ease with which they can be acquired by ANYONE, would never even be mentioned as a contributing factor [to violent crime]."<br /><br />What makes you think it would be hard for criminals to acquire handguns if the states or federal government passed any and all laws that you want? If people want something and are willing to break laws, they will get it. No one seems to have any trouble getting any illegal drug that they want. And it would be just as easy to get handguns even if all firearms were illegal.<br /><br />Criminal attacks are over in seconds ... long before a victim can even call 911. You can be a defenseless victim. Or, you can purchase a firearm and pay someone to train you in its safe and effective use. I choose the latter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
