Is it no wonder that we have the polarizing issue of the second amendment moving two distinct groups further apart in this country. In the wake of the horrible crimes in Littleton, Colorado many ill-informed but sincerely concerned people are clamoring for more gun laws. They obviously do not understand that at least 19 gun laws were broken, and passage of one, ten or 100 more laws would not have deterred the killers. Laws can only punish violators, not prevent them from committing illegal acts.
Too many of the 20,000 gun laws in the US are NOT being enforced. In Utah last year 3,767 people ineligible to buy a gun were denied permission to do so by the "Brady check." Exactly ZERO cases were prosecuted by either state or Federal authorities for this felony offense. In every case there was a written document with the perpetrator's signature, home address, and drivers license number. There was an eye witness to the offense, and their exact location was known to authorities when the attempt was reported. Busting criminals on charges like that is easier than eating a doughnut but ZERO arrests and prosecutions took place. In the entire U.S. there were less than a dozen prosecutions although the Clinton folks are screaming for more laws and brag that they stopped over 100,000 such attempts. BULL!
In light of all this, I telephoned one of my Senators offices (California's Diane Feinstein) this morning to make my feelings known. Because I am pro-gun, I was treated absolutely terribly. I swear to God, I will do everything in my power to fight the political cancer that has invaded our country.
