Hey, Let’s Have A Law, Because We Can

 

PS - Soliman’s statistics include suicide, accidental deaths, and people shot by cops. The actual number of people who died by criminal use of a gun is thus considerably lower. But since when has the left ever run the numbers honestly?

* - 4000 guns recovered, but only 2000 time traced: about 1000 of the recovered guns were rifles and shotguns. In most states these are not registered. That leaves about 1000 guns unaccounted for. Could they be older firearms, older than gun registration, with a “time to crime” of 40, 50, 90 years? It’s possible. Guns don’t really wear out. And the vast majority of cartridges with us today were around 50 or more years ago. Especially handgun cartridges. Heck, before 1968 gun companies weren’t even required to put serial numbers on their products. How’s that for freedom? So a 50% untraceable rate doesn’t seem that unusual to me.

1. Personally, I like his logic.

   Why not?

   If there’s ANY chance of stopping hate-speech, we should limit all the journalists to one article a month - right?

   If there’s ANY chance of stopping drownings, we should ban pools and mop-buckets (and bathtubs, and...)—right?

   If there’s ANY chance of stopping drunk-driving, we should ban both alcohol AND cars—right?

   What a f***ing MORON.
