Originally posted by guacamole View PostIf you reduce the availability, then logically, it becomes harder and harder to obtain the guns to use in crimes.
Originally posted by guacamole View PostI'm not necessarily arguing for gun abolition either--In this case, I'd argue, for starters, that the gun-show loop holes be closed.
Also, I reject the implication that gun-shows are somehow a "loop hole" in our existing laws. Besides, I doubt that's where kids from the "hood" are buying guns anyway.Last edited by Mountain Man; 02-27-2018, 09:54 AM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by guacamole View PostAt this point, in order to defend permissive gun laws, you're disputing basic economics. Fewer guns, less supply, same demand, more cost, harder to get.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Adrift View PostWell...no. They won't. If there are no guns because of a gun ban, then they can't get guns, at least, not easily, and not cheaply."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Originally posted by Adrift View PostYou've stated previously that you're for the illegalization of hard drugs. Wouldn't that mean that you believe that illegalization is somewhat effective? If not, then why do you think they should be illegal?"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Originally posted by Adrift View PostCorrect. I believe that it's harder to buy crack illegally than if it were sold at the local gas station. I understand that you're for the legalization of hard drugs, but I'm not."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
