Now I'm sure a person about to shoot up a school is going to go to the range. Buy 500 rounds and when they see the sign saying Ammo Purchased Here Cannot Leave. That's going to stop them. Damn. Maybe we should put a similar sign outside of schools. You Can Only Shoot Kids With Ammo Purchased at This School. And get this, Don't actually sell ammo at the school. Damn. We solved it![/font]
People without common sense really shouldn't propose common sense laws.
Are you arguing against all laws then? Why have any laws at all if every single law can be broken?
I recommend you stop arguing ideas and look at facts. Let’s find some relevant facts that we agree are true. After we have the relevant facts, we can use them to form reasonable ideas. In law, the briefs always start with a statement of facts. So start with facts and apply ideas & rules.
Fact: countries with restrictive gun laws have fewer incidents of gun violence. A 2016 review of 130 studies in 10 countries, published in Epidemiologic Reviews, found that new legal restrictions on owning and purchasing guns tended to be followed by a drop in gun violence. That's a strong indicator that restricting access to guns can save lives.
Do you agree with this fact?
