I just wrote to Senator Maria Cantwell and simply stated what I believe to be the issue in the ban on guns....


Which is:

Show me any law that has eliminated an issue by making something illegal. Murder? DUI's? Drugs? Prostitution? It's already illegal to murder someone regardless of the way it's done. What stronger "law" is there? What possible deterrent to someone bent on murdering someone else is there?

Then I simply asked that she quit the political "feel good" law enactment exercise, and get on with the REAL issues Congress should be dealing with.


Of course - these azzholes are LAWMAKERS by definition.... so that's all they actually know, or care to do. Otherwise they're completely useless at best.

Here's one that you have to download because it's an excel spread sheet...

http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-a.../homicide.html


Here's one from the UK -- again a database you download...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datab...ry-murder-data


Wikipedia will give you a full page --- color charts and listings by country etc and is probably the easiest "source" to use.

While you're looking ---- just Google --- Worst US school murder in history.


Only a couple shots were fired.... and actually I think it was only ONE shot.


And if you want another mass murder of innocent people that didn't use guns...


Try reading about the Murrow Federal Building.

So what do you all think will proposed/enacted tomorrow?

Here's a nice letter to Biden from the County Sheriff on our northern county boarder.

[GregWeld]

And there it is in a nutshell..... why make laws that affect ordinary law abiding citizens and that punish manufacturers - thereby their employees etc and all the retailers and their employees -- because of the couple of nut jobs running around.

This is exactly what my police buddies say -- and the people that work (retired cops) at the range etc. While they detest gun violence -- they know bans don't work.


It's just pure political grandstanding.

[DBasher]

Just sent Sheriff Mueller an email thanking him....and I'm not even a fan of law enforcement!
Hopefully VP Biden has received thousands of these letters.

I guess we'll see what's said tomorow
