(82 posts)First off, your title that it hurts only the "law abiding citizens" is another one of those memes that really has no meaning or proof. If we had stricter gun laws, that a-hole in CT doesn't get his hands on three guns and kill 27 people. How can rational gun control "only" hurt those who don't break laws? It makes no sense whatsoever.
Second, this "it's too late to do anything about it" crap is, well, crap. Why make any laws to change what's going on? There are 40 million people without healthcare - oh well, too late to do anything about that. Cars are "unsafe at any speed" - oops, wish we could have done something before. Just because the problem is a big one, doesn't mean it can be fixed. Try to come up with a real reason.
You say you never want to have that type of tragedy again, but you're unwilling to do anything about it? That also makes no sense.
