SINCE WHEN CAN WE MAGICALLY MAKE ALL THE GUNS DISAPPEAR? They banned marijuana and it's use has exploded. Only in magical fairy la-la land can you legislate something out of existence.

Outlaw the guns, and only outlaws will have them.
That is exactly the common sense that I agree with! Only the criminals will be the ones with guns. The only people being punished are the law abiding citizens.

And frankly I don't feel any safer where guns are illegal to have. Just think about it. If you were a criminal who would you target? A New Yorker? Where no one has a gun to defend themselves. Or Texas, where theres a pretty good chance the person your robbing is going to pull a gun right back at you. Just look at that vigilante down in Texas. His neighbors house was being robbed and he did the right thing. He called the cops, repeatedly told the criminals to stop, and when they didn't he shot them.

That's a damn good neighbor if you ask me.
