And how about actually enforcing those laws now? (em, chicago)
And making tougher laws when you are in possession of a stolen gun or one with the serial numbers filed off?

With all the talk about laws concerning gun control, not one law was proposed to increase the penalty for a person using a gun in the act of a crime.
Making it a penalty of death for anyone using a firearm in the commission of a crime would do more to reduce gun violence then any "law" being vomited out of DC.
Because not all gang members have a huge rap sheet.

A very difficult distinction to make. Being completely anti gun and well known for airing my views, if the crims did'nt have guns, then the law abiding wouldn't need them either, presumably...
I know there is more to it than that. Apparently Americans like to have guns in case the state wants to take away their rights, or anything else.
I would have thought this rather unlikely ?
