To me, the  statements above in BLUE go far beyond being simple misunderstandings of the facts.
 


These LIES, if advanced into laws, will not just wipe out the recreational hobbies of millions, these LIES will harm people. These LIES will cost lives.   These LIES will require enormous amounts of tax dollars in courts to undo.  While those court cases are going on, the American people will become the victims of these LIES.  Many will die needlessly due to the fact that these LIES are only hurting the honest law abiding people across the country while leaving the violent gun using criminals totally untouched.
 

I hope you will use some of the LINKS below to explore the real facts and to explode the lies.

There really are PROVEN programs that drastically cut violent crimes.  There really are answers that leave the innocent and law abiding people of this land unscathed.  There are answers that will save lives of your family and friends and MANY across the country including tougher mandatory penalties for the violation of meaningful and valid gun laws designed to prevent violent crime and accidents.

but ... if you choose to stay in the blind and be totally ANTI-GUN then  THIS IS FOR YOU





PROPOSED
"NEW" GUN CONTROL LAWS:
Believe me.. MOST that you can propose are already in effect ....
The rest are just plain worthless....
They are  anti-law-abiding-gun-owner laws

a) REGISTER ALL GUNS AND GUN OWNERS....
      All cars are registered.... are cars any safer for that ??
      Maybe BRAND a  'G'  on the forehead of all gun owners ?
      Nice beaurocratic way to waste loads of taxpayer $$$$$$$$$$

b) FILE A FIRED BULLET FROM EACH AND EVERY GUN IN THE US...
      IF this worked, it would not help STOP any crimes or violence.
      BUT .. It is a ridiculous idea...  the markings on a bullet change as the gun ages.
      Nice beaurocratic way to waste loads of taxpayer $$$$$$$$$$

c)  FILE A SPENT CASING FROM EACH AND EVERY GUN IN THE US...
      IF this worked, it would not help STOP any crimes or violence.
      BUT .. It is a ridiculous idea...  the markings on a casing change as the gun ages.
      Nice beaurocratic way to waste loads of taxpayer $$$$$$$$$$

d)  ONLY ONE HANDGUN A MONTH
      Any purchases of over one handgun a month are already reported to BATF.

e)  BAN ALL ASSAULT RIFLES
      VERY Few crimes or murders are committed with assault rifles.
      **  COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE ASSAULT RIFLES do NOT fire like they
          are shown on TV and MOVIES  ...  COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE ASSAULT
           RIFLES are just UGLY looking rifles that work just about like any other
           semi-auto rifle  **  CALIFORNIA's IDIOTIC ASSAULT RIFLE LAW IS BASICALLY
           A LAW THAT BANS *UGLY* RIFLES... IT IS RIDICULOUS AND USELESS.





What is Wrong with Gun Control ?
     Besides the Second Amendment? 
     Besides the fact that gun control has failed and failed and failed ?

There is one single legal principle that is a unique premise of the American system.
That is the concept that one is innocent until PROVEN guilty.
That premise is at the BASE of the American system and that principle is the one that
protects us from our authorities and which sets individual freedom above the  potential
misuse of power by the authorities and the Government.

GUN CONTROL violates that one single basic premise that sets the American legal system
apart from most other systems around the world.

GUN CONTROL is NOT anti-gun, it is anti-law-abiding gun owner and it strikes at the
foundations of principles that set the US apart from the rest of the world.
