Let's Keep the Gun
Control Laws That Work

A mass murderer killed almost 60 people in Las Vegas. Hundreds more were injured by gunshot wounds and by being trampled in the mass panic that followed. Politicians, celebrities and gun control activists called for new gun laws. That isn't a new idea. We already have 23 thousand firearms regulations. Let's look at the recent proposals. We can keep the gun-control laws that work and get rid of the rest.

Demand Universal Background Checks- Lots of states already require background checks when firearms are bought or sold. The murderer in Las Vegas bought his guns legally, so he passed his background checks. So did the murderers who killed people at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, at the Umpqua Community College in Oregon, and at Isla Vista near the University of Santa Barbara campus. I'm noticing a pattern here. Background checks only look at past criminal history. They can not predict future behavior, and they absolutely failed to stop mass murderers.

Impose Magazine Capacity Restrictions- I mentioned him before, but the murderer at Isla Vista used a handgun, not a rifle. He bought his gun and magazines in California which already has magazine capacity restrictions. This murderer had several magazines.

The whole point here is simple -- with the thousands of gun laws already on the books, where is there any logic whatsoever in trying to add more? The answer - none at all. Any attempt to ramp up extra 'gun control' laws would have but one purpose, which is to get ever closer to trying to ban guns altogether. A win for "them", a win for the criminals, but a total loss for all (the majority) of law abiding citizens. "They" will never give up with their infringement efforts.
