Pass a law that claims to protect the people but don’t enforce it. Demand that more restrictive laws be passed. Don’t enforce them either on criminals. Focus on minor infractions of the common citizen. Gradually as more and more laws are passed, the people lose the ability to protect themselves. More laws are demanded because there is little a common person could do to protect themselves. This time the laws evolve from restrictive to oppressive. Still nothing seems to work. Then the only remaining solution is complete confiscation.
Common sense would dictate that that only the bad guy would get punished for that the bad guy did. In today’s bizarre world a lunatic shoot up a crowd and I get my rights infringed.
Spot on. See tagline.
There's a reason for that. You are far less likely to shoot back at the cops when they kill your dog.
