The so called "gun laws" would do nothing to crime rate in one way or another because they only affect law abiding citizens.

If we have true gun laws that focus on the criminals, it would make a difference. The reason we don't have any true gun laws is because the Democrats don't want their criminals, I mean, voter base, inconvenienced.

You too? Been a gun collector since the mid-Seventies and have yet to shoot anyone. Am I doing something wrong?

If you are going to say that, then I have something to add. What do you suggest that should be done about this, within Constitutional means?

Fortunately for us on the north shore, those neighborhoods are at the other end of two very long bridges. New Orleans, like any typical crime-ridden city is run by------well, Democrats. It will never change as long as they are in control.

For starters start locking up the 80,000 felons who attempt to buy a weapon each year.

Well, that sounds good, except for one thing. Straw purchases.

George Washington and Patrick Henry were felons and forbidden to own firearms according to the crown.

To be honest, nothing for the time being. It doesn't directly affect me.
Maybe red-lining the bad areas then digging a moat around them and sending in pallets of 9mm.
I know, that's heartless and disgusting. But you don't want a solution. You prefer excuses.

That will work. Obama just set free thousands of felons that will have a gun within days.

All of that is unconstitutional.

And when did I once say I wanted excuses? Prove it.
