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.
Your entire premise is based upon the notion that people that break rules and laws have absolutely no regard for punishment but you still think you actually have some sort of control over your daughter? Wouldn't it be more in line with your viewpoint to say that you have no control over your daughter and you are simply lucky enough to have a daughter that isn't hell-bent on screwing up her life? Because if she were you could impose a curfew but she will just break it, and you can lock her in her room but she'll just break a window and jump 2 stories down and then run off to join some merry band of prostitutes, or whatever wayward girls do these days.
Do you really think there isn't a single person who abides by laws simply because he/she doesn't want to run afoul of the government?
