A gun isn't going hurt you by itself. So, you want to get rid of people/exclude those from gun ownership who are prone to gun violence or have been involved with gun violence. Well, we already have federal laws on the books that are supposed to exclude them. As far as criminals, laws aren't going to stop them from getting them when there are other criminals and criminal networks to get them from. Hint. The ones who are doing the killing with guns in the South Side of Chicago aren't buying them from Wisconsin gun stores because they are available within the South Side of Chicago.

You are absolutely correct, yet the "blues" keep harping about wanting more and more restrictions that will have zero effect about that which they perpetually harangue.  Their wet dream will have zero effect on the ones that they really should fear; it will only on those that don't threaten them to begin with.  The fact that they can't or more likely won't (admit) to see(ing) this is only making them enemies who will oppose them on this issue alone and as a result they lose ground on all sorts of other issues.  The fact of the matter is that the lawful gun owners are standing up and saying NO, NO MORE GUN RESTRICTIONS.  NOT ONE DAMNED INCH! But the Democrat party just doubles down on the stupid.

I planned to leave this alone, but yours is the second post in a row to make the futility argument.  Really?  We've had a chance to limit the number of guns in circulation for decades, but ignored the problem until it's gotten us here.  We can continue to ignore the problem until something more dramatic than Las Vegas occurs and the public says, ENOUGH!  It just makes it a bigger problem, not a non-issue.  Would you be OK with an epidemic of any other kind?  Eventually, it will become a pandemic ... potentially a nation-ending one.
