I hear all the time about how if we had stronger gun laws or just banned them, shootings would decrease.

Mayor Kenney in Philadelphia just signed a law banning guns in recreation places with that bafoon Krasner looking on. Please explain to me how criminals obey gun laws? I want to hear from liberals especially how gun laws really lower gun violence. Give examples.

Sooo tempted to answer YES for them. What other conclusion can there be given their obsession with more gun laws, more gun laws, more gun laws?

So you figure criminals in other countries DO follow the gun laws in those countries.

What kind of criminals are they??? They should be ashamed.

With liberals it’s never a matter of whether a law is effective but rather whether a law makes them feel good at the moment

That's funny

But it's not about who follows gun laws or not. It's about the easy availability of guns and the sheer number of guns in the population that contribute to making ours a very violent society.

We can't compare our country, to others. Unless there are others out there with our Constitution, our politics, our distrust of government, our divide in our society, etc.

If you want to bring up other countries, there are just as many out there that will prove your point, as there are others that prove the opposite.

Well some gun laws do lower the rate of gun violence but criminals by nature WILL and DO Break the Law.

We only need to look to Hunter Biden who lied on the Federal Form to get his gun. He didn't shoot anyone but still he was very careless with that gun and an often drunk and drug addled addict should not be allowed near any potentially deadly weapons.



The Liberals are LOOPY. They allow Criminals to walk among us but they are trying their best to take away our Right to Defend ourselves from those Criminals. Here is a basic idea, LOCK UP THE CRIMINALS.

Criminals are the ones that have no fear to actually use their guns because they have nothing to lose BUT their Freedom and now the Liberals are not even taking that away from them unless they murder someone.



Gun laws work but not when it comes to Criminals because they do not care.

There are literally 4 firearms within arms reach of me, and I don't feel violent in any way. Firearms don't make violent people.
