Hey, hey, LBJ, why don't you just go away? CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY LAWS. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY'D OBEY A REGISTRATION LAW?
I do not think LBJ ever believed his own rhetoric. He was not stupid, just evil.
Registration has never been effective in stopping crime. Reducing crime is just an excuse governments use because they want total control over their populations.
That is what Constable Greenwood and Professor Joyce Lee Malcomb discovered in their independent research of the English gun laws.
It never was about crime.
It always was about control.
This statement was patently stupid then, and (amazing!) still stupid today.
LBJ, Moronic Master of Incompetence.
