Wait, a person who acquires a gun illegally isn't a criminal?
Quote:Since we can not keep all criminals locked up for their entire lives I say we should try a different approach. Right now a police officer could come in contact with a car with guns, 3 convicted felons, and one person with no felony convictions. If the innocent person claims ownership of all the guns there is nothing the police can do unless they have some way to link the guns to the convicted felons.
This simply isn't correct. Under such a scenario there are numerous ways that the guns could be confiscated. As a lawyer I'm suprised you're not aware of this.
Quote:The study I cited was from 2013. So what makes you say locking criminal up longer was working to keep guns out of the hands of criminals?
Probably the empirical evidence from ~1992-2015.

Because I don't like post whores, I though I made that clear.

So you have trouble mentally keeping up with posts that respond to more than one point at a time. Got it.
Quote:BTW are you seriously claiming that you don't remember the discussion we had about this exact same topic in another thread?
Really?
What?
