You bet there's a problem in America; carjackers, robbers, rapists, murderers, child molesters, multiple home invaders, dangerous convicts let-out of prison early, political corruption, violent road rage, and a plethora of evil that we law-abiding citizens have to be aware.
The problem is the crime. The problem is not banning this or that we law-abiding citizens own for self-defense. The criminals plead-down their offenses, the judicial system is corrupt. The criminals have more rights than victims.
Banning guns certainly will reduce the crime committed with guns by those murderers who can't afford them, and leave innocent people dead at the hands of the above.
If every gun went "poof" tomorrow, the next lethal implement would be used by the criminals and murderers, and the crime would skyrocket, especially against the defenseless. Just look at the crime in England and Australia when guns were banned. They've skyrocketed, not with guns, but other weapons.
It is convenient that liberals and others who quote that gun crime would be down if they were banned, don't have the mental capacity to realize crime will rise with other implements at hand, and many criminals will still have guns.
I have a notion that lawmakers in the criminal justice system all over America have fallen to blatant stupidity, and moronic bandwagon behavior of brainless idiots.
Let's give criminal credit where it is due; Obama, contempt of Congress Eric Holder, and nearly their entire administration of scofflaws. A band of masked, merry outlaws, impervious to the rule-of-law.
We don't have a gun problem with law-abiding citizens in the U.S., we have a criminal problem the administration won't address.
And people around the world scoff and point fingers at we self defense inspired citizens?
Perhaps it would be better if we former self-defensive citizens were murdered because of a gun ban?
Molly-coddling, the sky is falling ignorant leftists don't have a clue, and the answers they propose to take care of issues, are just idiotic. A special kind of stupid they possess because of knee-jerk, emotional thinking, and myopic, off-base understanding of the criminal element in our society, and an unwillingness to address real problems.
I swear the above people have inherited a defective gene that causes their lack of reason.
