Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Questions the left won't discuss about gun control, but should - and soon. [View all]pablo_marmol
(2,375 posts)1) Why are we not enforcing laws already on the books?
2) What are the best ways to keep guns out of the hands of criminals (given that the vast majority of gun crimes are committed by those with extensive criminal records) and persons with psych issues? How do we determine which psych issues warrant prohibition?
3) What can we reasonably hope to accomplish, given political realities, in reforming the counter-productive "War on Drugs (given that 2/3 of all gun mayhem is criminal-on-criminal violence)
4) How can we improve national data-sharing w/regard to identifying those prohibited from gun ownership?
5) When, if ever, will a significant percentage of restriction supporters be willing to acknowledge the possibility that they've swallowed lies w/regard to the gun restriction issue that prevent us from pursuing meaningful methods of violence reduction? ("assault weapons", "cop-killer bullets", "gun show loopholes" etc.)
The rest, AFAIC, is a lot of academic masturbation.
