Why Gun Control Doesn't Work

Murder is against the law.
Murder with a firearm is also against the law.
Robbery is against the law.
Robbery with a firearm (armed robbery) is against the law.
So are a whole host of other things using a firearm are against the law.
Or obtaining firearms if prohibited, but yet which law has worked?
Maybe. Just maybe none of them for the most part don't work, so the
feel gooders and politically inclined call for more and more. That won't work as well.

Watching that video, you can see how these gun grabbing pricks are replacing the term gun control with gun safety. They don't want more gun control laws, instead they want more gun safety legislation. They can't win in an honest debate, so they have to lie about what they really want.

Everything in politics is an optics game. Why do you think the terms 'pro-life' and 'pro-choice' exist? Why do you think Christians replaced 'creationism' with 'intelligent design?'

And gun grabbers want the guns, with politicians at the top.

No, the gun lobby just doesn't want the vast majority of guns in society.

No they don't

That's just a dishonest straw-man that pro gunners spew out
Gun control, where it has been enacted, has be driven by mass shootings.

that's bullshit. the GCA of 68 was not driven by mass shootings. It was driven by Nixon attacking the Democrats as being soft on crime.

When I said "gun control", I meant real gun control. ie: a gun ban
Not merely some weak, half measure like what you see in the USA.

So the many gun control advocates who stop short of demanding a ban, are not real gun control advocates by your definition. Neither are the gun control organizations that you often pretend to speak for.

well when you start breaking down the doors of gang bangers or even the survivalist hard right militias, in order to seize their guns, maybe we will take you seriously

He doesn't even know where he stands because one day he wants a complete gun ban, tomorrow a complete gun ban with a bunch of guns resurrected by the supreme holy executive, and then yet another idea where some guns are never banned.

So only people physically qualified to be a SWAT team member, have an opinion worthy of your attention ?

You still continue to ignore the question of how you would ban guns in a non-stupid way, allowing certain firearms like those used foe sporting/hunting purposes.
