Guns are not the problem. Lack of regulation that allows someone to buy and own 40+ weapons and endless ammo is the problem.
If cars need to be registered, if dogs need to be registered, then why not guns?[/quote]
How can you be sure? People used to be able to buy most of what is available now through mail order or at sporting goods stores, and there weren’t problems like Steven Paddock. How do you know that more regulations won’t increase criminal activity in terms of stealing firearms or trafficking in illegal firearms?
As I’ve said a couple of times – I am not a gun enthusiast. But, I think everyone wants to believe that these sorts of tragedies can be prevented with more gun control. Exaggerating to make a point: I’m sure there is a lot of gun control in North Korea – that doesn’t make it a great place to live.[/quote]
No one can be sure of course. Except to say there are plenty of examples of success throughout the world in regard to gun control, much like universal healthcare. Yet we act like this has never been tried before anywhere else and we are somehow trailblazing our way through this, when in reality we are the lagging way behind the curve.
