You mean to say that, for 200 years we've\r\nbeen having all these totally unregulated gun shows,\r\nand, despite no required record keeping or reporting,\r\nnever have the guns sold at these gun shows ended\r\nup in the hands of criminals? Well, by all means then,\r\nI guess THE SHOWS MUST GO ON!!!\r\n\r\nBut wait, it sounds like they will go on! Because \r\naccording to what you've just written, the law in\r\nquestion doesn't ban these gun shows, or sales\r\nat them, but merely requires some minimum\r\nrecordkeeping to ensure that the sales are lawful.\r\nOh, wow, now I'm relieved.

If they have to keep making paper trail after paper trail to ensure that gun sales are legal, doesn't that suggest that it is an impossible task?  But wait, we already know that.  And of course, we all know that gun control has solved the gun-related crime problems in America.  All crooks go through the legal channels to secure arms.  It's a well known fact.  Of course, before gun control, crooks were just waltzing into every sporting goods store to purchase their auto or semiautomatic weapons.  And since the laws have been passed, illegal gun sales(which are so easy to track in the first place) have disappeared because all crooks respond to laws like that.  Just a FYI, I am not really being sarcastic, just giving name to the fallacies in logic that would have to be true in order for the consensual beliefs about gun control to hold any water.  Like the one where limiting guns available to the general public will keep crooks from getting the big boys.  I grew up in a house full of guns, knowing exactly where they were and that they were unlocked and accessible.  I have handledthem since toddler age and began shooting them as a child.  I listen to NIN and other horrible music, I read subversive literature, I have piercings and tatoos, and amazingly enough...I have not shot anyone nor seriously considered a gun a plausible way to solve a problem.  Imagine that.  Damned free will!","author":"Refuse_Resist_Revolt","parent_id":6960,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2001-05-24 22:32:19","modified":"2001-05-24 23:00:01","fileurl":""}]}
