Jim, you just choose not to understand. Prohibition of anything does not work.
You tried prohibiting alcohol, all that happened was criminals prospered.
Drugs are banned, yet you have a massive drug problem.
Ron's solution has merit.I think it would work, particularly with the mental health
Checks.
Would it stop killings, would it stop gun related crime? Of course not.
Australia banned guns some time ago, shootings and gun crime still happens,
How come if guns are banned?
Yes I know you will trot out stats that say death by guns in OZ have diminished since the ban, but what has lowered the number is suicide by gun.
Violent crime using a fire arm has increased.
Pete,
Please explain how prohibition of guns in Japan does not work?
Please explain why:
The Sandy Hook school shooting is the 15th mass shooting in the US in 2012. With the state of American gun laws, it is unsurprising that you are forty times more likely to be shot there than in the United Kingdom.
