They just don't get it, what is so stinking hard about figuring that out. the politician and the anti-gunners just don't get it.
rupe, I used to be one who thought exactly like you do. Now, on the contrary, I do think they get it. They know exactly what they're doing and they're doing it on purpose. It ain't about gun bans "supposedly" cutting crime in their eyes. In their eyes it's about control. An unarmed law-abiding populace w/o the means of self defense, in their opinion, is now going to have to rely on GOVERNMENT for their protection. And thus sacrifice certain liberties in order for govt to be able to do it.
Democrats, in general, and liberals, in particular, are ardent proponents of "nanny-state" policies. The people are "too dumb, stupid, uneducated, unprepared, unqualified, unable, etc to take care of themselves" so in rides BIG GOVT to save the day and make you live your life how they think you should. BIG GOVT will take care of you. We know what's best for you and you must do as we say.
You name it.....gun control, global warming, higher taxes, public education, medicare, welfare, health care, what eco-junk car you must buy, what stupid curly light bulb you must use, etc, etc. You name it, the liberals want to tell you what to do and how to live your life.
Wake up; it's not about crime or guns.....it never was. It's always been about control. And there's only one way they can have absolute control....no resistance.
NO GUNS= NO RESISTANCE!
