Why don’t we just make murder, armed burglary, kidnapping, etc illegal instead? If we do that, it doesn’t matter what people own.

@SkotlandSkye as if they're not already illegal? the idea is to make them harder to commit, not to make it easier to punish people after the fact. duh.

@genessa If they were already illegal then why do they occur? The point of this is, more laws aren’t going to solve the problem. If someone wants to commit murder they’re going to find away whether they drive a bus into icrowd, detonate a bomb in a backpack, or start attacking people with knives. Are you planning on banning all vehicles, knives, pressure cookers, baseball bats, and everything else that can be used as a weapon?

If making things it illegal actually worked, then we wouldn’t have murder or any other crimes.

Stop buying into the soundbite inflammatory news editing. You can see past that can’t you?

The only thing that this law will do is punish honest people who spent honest money to buy legal accessories. It will also open up a black market for criminals. It’s not going to solve a problem. People need to stop putting Band-Aids on serious social issues.

The problem starts in the homes and who we allowed to breed and raise children. It’s time that we start requiring tests, licensing, and educational programs before people are allowed to breed more humans.

@SkotlandSkye okay, then we should not have ANY laws, according to your reasoning, because people break them anyway.

sorry, stop buying into your particular preferred soundbites and stop telling others to stop buying into what you imagine they're buying into. i'm not buying into anything. i'm just using common sense. it's worth a try.

@genessa you are way too emotional about this to think rationally and logically.....so I’m not debating it further. You obviously didn’t read my whole last reply but stopped when you felt insulted. The point is...limiting the rights of the law abiding will never fix anything.

@SkotlandSkye oh PLEASE. you have no idea how emotional or unemotional i am. don't make stuff up and don't assume. you're not debating further because you have nothing to say. that's fine with me.

@genessa I have lots to say. But if you want to continue, please educate yourself first because your belief that creating more and more laws to restricts the rights of free and law abiding people is a faulty belief. If laws actually worked to prevent crime, then murder would have ceased as would have illegal drug use. Laws aren’t the answer. Duh.

@SkotlandSkye i have no such belief, but then, if you can read into my words that i am emotional, you can read anything into them, can't you? your belief about what i do or don't believe is faulty. and i have nothing to say to, nor to learn from, you.
