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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
