(37 posts)On enforcement of any kind of ban: It would create more problems than it was intending to address. I think bans are a complete waste of time since they tend to punish people who comply with laws. The people you're targeting always seem to know a work-around anyway. As I was saying to someone the other day, confiscation could lead to a tremendous violence since there are nutcases that shoot first and ask questions later.
As for "kind of what I do," I got tired of nursing, so I went back and studied law. Criminal defense was my area of specialty. Call it a fetish, but I was very interested in the psychology of murder. That meant rubbing shoulders with some of the most interesting people (to be polite). Frequently people facing capital murder. So I know gun crime and the motives behind it pretty well. Especially these mass shootings.
As for fetishes: With all due respect, no one needs 50 guns. Or 50 cars. Or 50 houses. Or 50 dogs. Having that many of anything is the definition of excessive. I think plenty of regular, normal people would agree.
