I'm pretty sure you have rules for your daughter, right? Aren't you worried by implementing rules for your daughter you are only encouraging her to circumvent your rules? Don't you realize the only way your daughter won't break the rules is not to establish any rules?
No, because I have a lot more control over my daughter than the government has over people in a general sense.
If somebody is hellbent on killing people, finding a vehicle to execute their madness isn't going to stop them. To think you can is rather asinine to me. People, largely after tragedies occur, want to do SOMETHING. It's reactionary and that more often than not leads to stupid decisions.
I've yet to see a "common sense" gun law presented that would make any bit of difference.
If you want to pass something that will do nothing, fine with me.
How'd prohibition work out? Worked out great for bootleggers and the mafia.
