And liquor was available during prohibition...
And loosies (individual cigarettes) are being sold openly in New York, purchased elsewhere and smuggled into the city to avoid extremely high taxes...
And illicit drugs like cocaine and heroin can be purchased off street corners across the country...
Where there are buyers, there will be sellers. No matter what the fairy tale goals of the gun-banners are, those items exist and will find there way into communities. Remember Pandora and her box?
By making guns "illegal", one simply drives that market into the shadows and puts the law-abiding at a disadvantage. |

xqqme -
Which is all beside the point.
We have an unalienable right, recognized and guaranteed in the Constitution, to keep and bear GUNS.
While your rationale is sound it is unnecessary, and instead of making such arguments, the 'debate' should be shut down immediately after it starts by declaring the above disclaimer. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
