[QUOTE="JoeUSooner, post: 4123047, member: 55109"] Leftist politicians just don't get it (and are too damned stupid [I]TO[/I] ever 'get it'). Laws are not - in any way - preventative. Laws simply define expected social behavior. Some (not all, but some) laws include specific punishments for failure to 'behave,' but that punishment is always after-the-fact. Laws do nothing(!) to [U]prevent[/U] illegal behavior up front. After all, for honest and moral people laws are completely unnecessary. For dishonest and immoral people laws are completely ineffective. Leftist idiots - especially including politicians - ignorantly downplay ("pooh-pooh") the stated concept that "the only thing that stops bad guys with a gun... are good guys with a gun." Yet, when faced with criminal behavior against themselves they scream for someone with a gun - police officers, security guards, etc (or even armed citizens, if nothing else is available) to specifically act as "good guys" to save the day. ******* hypocrites.
