when I first learned to drive, in the area I now currently live in, again, people were NUTS. Speeding, running red lights, passing in no-passing zones. I tell you, when I moved back, I was friggin SHOCKED that I was now the speed demon going the speed limit. People now regularly go 5km/h under. What changed?

Police presence in the community. Constant photo radar. ENFORCEMENT of the law.

You're right - any gun law without enforcement won't do its job. The law needs to be explicit, and enforced, constantly.

By the way, the mememe shit reminds me of some people I've seen here over the last few days....
