The only people that will benifit from all these stupid gun laws against the average citezen are the criminal element that don't obey the law anyway,less people to defend themself.It's been proven time after time that when you take away the guns crime goes up,the criminals don't need to be afraid of getting shot at when nobody but them have any guns.The criminals surley don't care about the stupid gun laws,they don't go to the store to buy theirs anyway.Why dosn't sombody pick on the criminals for a change of pace?

The politicians don't pick on criminals because of the bleeding heart liberals in this country would complain about it. So instead of REALLY getting tough on criminals they make useless laws that only restrict the rights of law abiding citizens. And they think it makes it look like they are actually doing something about crime.
I think it's time to get rid of these career polititians and get some regular people in office.

Maybe I'll run for mayor next time around.

I used to buy about one gun a year, now I support part of the law. I started buying one gun a month. These laws are pure non-sense and wont do anything to affect crime.

Agreed

If Ramsey and his police department gets out and does the job arresting thugs that commit the crimes he won't have to be looking for excuses to go after otherwise law-abiding citizens using a maze of administrative and non-intuitive laws to make it look like he is "doing something." Same thing applies to the ignorant and arrogant mayor and council who think the laws are there to "control the people" and not THEM, too.

"Unconstitutional" means "illegal," you dolts! Pushing the envelope and doing whatever it takes is what CRIMINALS DO!

Here's a novel approach to crime control.....prosecute the people commiting the crimes!! These gun control measures allow the lawmakers who pass them to feel all warm and fuzzy, but do NOTHING to reduce crime!!
