Gun Laws Don't Work

Gun laws for the most part do not work. It is tragic that so many people are killed every year by guns but passing more and more laws to outlaw guns is not going to change that. The sad truth is that the criminals committing these heinous crimes will get their hands on a gun no matter what. Do you really think the majority of criminals are walking into a gun store and going through the due process in the first place? Did you know you can go to gun shows and pay cash for an unregistered gun from a private party and with no paper work? When I was in high school there were several opportunities where I could have purchased a "dirty" gun. A few of my buddies at one point had an illegal gun. Illegal guns are much much easier to get a hold of then legal ones. Barring going back in time and preventing the invention of the firearms there is no way to rid the world of crime involving guns. Even if you could exterminate guns the criminals would find other tools to carry out their devious acts. The first murder in the history of man was committed by Cain and most likely carried out with a rock or his bare hands. While guns certainly make it easier and less personal to take the life of another it is human nature that is really to blame for the murder of the innocent. All gun laws do is make it harder for honest law abiding citizens to purchase guns.
