I really believe gun control is a lost cause for two pertinent reasons. First, people feel they have the right to bear arms, regardless of what the actual interpretation of the constitution is.

Second, if we have not learned our lesson from the prohibition of alcohol, banning weapons will create a deadly and frightening black market for these controlled weapons.

If you are already committing the crime of selling an illegal weapon, why would you actually care who you are selling to?

This is ultimately a scary reality to me.

As with everything, I have to ask: Why are we not endorsing education? Gun education, driver’s education, life skills and general education? We did not have nearly as many problems with crime in the past, when people were responsible for their actions and our education system was not failing us.
