But That’s Not The Point Of Gun Control Laws

Evidently, edicts to deprive people who obey laws of due process are high on the list, although what bearing that has on the Dycus case is left unstated. That and “universal background checks.”
No doubt the reptile who fired indiscriminately into a house full of unsupervised “juveniles” would have thought twice had those been in effect. No?
The point of new gun control laws in America is never to solve any problems. It’s always to disarm peaceable men and women of their means of self defense and make them more subservient to state control.

It all comes down to “how do I view the world around me?”
If I see the world as filled with dangerous and unstable people, it’s understandable that I would want to clamp down hard in an effort to reduce the instability and danger; if I see the world as populated mostly by reasonable, peaceable people, there’s far less impetus for me to make them even more reasonable and peaceable than they already are.
Whether that’s a good analysis for the folks pushing gun control or not is hard to say, but I think it works for those opposing it. We recognize that the proportion of stinkers among the general populace is both quite low and quite localized.
120 million Americans own 350 million guns and 300 billion rounds of ammunition. If any significant portion of them were as nutzo as the gun controllers make them out to be, they wouldn’t be lobbying Congress for more gun control; they’d be demanding Congress get all those rotting corpses off their street corners.
The fact that gun-controllers are what they are speaks volumes about how badly flawed their view of the world is.
