61. Thanks! Of course IF I was anti-gun, this is exactly what I would propose,
Edited on Thu Apr-09-09 01:55 PM by jmg257
because I am smart enough to know it is the only gun laws that would have a chance of working, which is what the OP asked (& he asked pro gun-control folks, hence my explanation that I wasn't anti-gun - as I answered anyway)

And IF I was a Nazi, I would only recommend gun control for groups I didn't like (easier to oppress them then) not FOR EVERYONE.

Of course having been a cop, I trusted plenty of us to be armed on duty and off, including me. But then again, in the real world WE WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES allowed to carry. Which I would think would piss quite a few people off, especially me a civilian now, if ONLY COPS WERE ALLOWED TO CARRY, even when off-duty. Besides being really unjust, that would go against the idea of diminishing the fear of the people, as I stated was needed in the original post.

But please don't feel it is a waste your time, or mine, the post at least gets the point across. But I would rather spend my time shooting, or responding to real anti-gunners, then trying to explain how intrusive it would have to get for the govt to have a chance to control guns.
