The problem with "reasonable" is.....
That it means something different to everybody. And reasonable to me is not reasonable to gun banners.
We have had since the founding of this nation (and before) laws that state you are not allowed to shoot people for fun and/or profit. Personally, I see no reason for anything else. What harm, other than shooting someone, can one do with any gun? Beat them with it? Laws covering assault cover that.
Shoot someone 37 times? Are they any more dead than shot properly once? Are they any more dead than if you cut off their head with an axe? Are they any more dead than crushing their skull with a hammer? Doesn't look that way to me.
Shoot 37 people (and just how does this kind of thing come to pass anyway?), are they any more dead than if they were locked inside a building on fire?
Maybe the problem with the idea of gun control is that while they focus on the guns, and on specific kinds of guns, they are actually sending a hidden message that it is ok to hurt/kill people, as long as you don't use a gun, or a specific kind of gun. And, of course, the more folks hurt/killed (even without guns) is just ammo for the banners, who will scream from the rooftops that without guns we will all be fine.
Banning guns reduces us all to the level of the jungle. Well, not all. The wealthy and privileged will have licensed gun wearers to protect them. They always do.
Without guns, the weak are at the mercy of the strong. The vicious, young, and able have a natural advantage over the aged and infirm. This is the law of the jungle. The strong eat the weak. How can such civilized people work so hard to reduce us to savagery?
Seems to me that gun control discriminates against the handicapped and the elderly. Removing the most effective (and often only) means of self defense, hardly seems to be equal treatment under the law.
If you are serious about ending the problem (and the anti-gunners really aren't, because what would they do then?) you take everyone proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have used a gun to shoot someone for fun and profit and destroy them. Publicly. Painfully. And without years of delay. Those individuals will never re-offend. Even if you can claim it no deterrent to others (because they figure they won't be caught), it is a deterrent to those executed.
Is there a potential for abuse of this system? Sure. Is there a potential for mistakes, and innocents paying the ultimate price? Yep. So what?! We have that already. AND, we aren't even getting what we were promised.
Communists favor gun control. Nazis favor gun control. Ethnic cleansers favor gun control. Big city mayors favor gun control. The UN favors gun control. Dictators and leaders of repressive regimes around the world favor gun control. Ted Kennedy favors gun control. Diane Feinstein, Charles Schumer, Bill & Hillary Clinton, Sarah Brady all favor gun control.
Don't we all want to be like them?
I don't!
