This is the worst argument against anything, because it only logically follows that criminals won't care about ANY laws and therefore everything should be legal

It doesn't matter whether they care about the law or not, it's about making it harder for them to get a gun regardless, and being able to confiscate them if we catch them. It worked in Australia.
- Turing_Machine 9y ago"It worked in Australia." And it didn't work in Mexico, Honduras, or Nicaragua, all of which have more in common with the United States than Australia does, and all of which have a) strict gun control laws and b) breathtakingly high murder rates.

- BigJono 9y agoYes but are those murders by members of crime organisations or by some random that had a mental breakdown and easy access to his or a family member's gun?
- icelancer 9y agoMost of those murders in the US fall under the former category, too.
- ascorbic 9y agoYou really think that the US has more in common with countries where gangsters murder with impunity, and paramilitary police death squads conduct extrajudicial killings?
- pjc50 9y agoInteresting admission that the US is more like a third world country there.
