114. Human nature

being what it is...

People are choosing not to smoke. They're not being told they can't.

If cigarettes were made illegal, there would still be people out there smoking, only they would be getting their cigarettes illegally.

Making the cigarettes illegal wouldn't end the problem of smoking. It would only drive people to obtain their cigarettes in some illegal way.

The way I see it, making guns illegal and expecting never to see another gun in America again is pretty similar to the RW hope that making abortion illegal would stop all abortions from happening.

Their stand doesn't make sense.

The idea that ostracism of gun owners will cause them to give up their guns doesn't make a lot of sense to me, either.

How would social ostracism affect people who are intent on owning guns? I doubt they're going to care what others think of them.

Insurance...how is that going to get guns off the streets?

It just seems to me that measures like mandatory insurance...social ostracism...etc., may or may not work on the general law-abiding population, but will do absolutely nothing to completely remove guns from our society.

Not when criminals can, and will, manage to get their hands on them.
