None of the proposed legislation would have prevented the massacre. This applies to this particular one, and to every other one. The ONLY thing that such legislation would actually do is burden law-abiding citizens that wouldn’t perpetrate such a massacre in 1,000 lifetimes - AND THIS IS THE GOAL.
I just wish that the Leftists/Statists would be honest and just tell us that they want to confiscate all guns...because that IS their goal. Of course, some unpleasantness might result if they were honest, starting with election results, so that’s why I don’t ever expect them to be honest until we can’t do anything about it.
However, Reid and his ilk should remember that there are about 400 million guns in this country. If you can’t find 11 million (really more like 30 million) illegals, how are you going to find 400 million guns? Guns that can be disassembled and placed in 5 different places, guns that can be buried, etc. (try that with people, it doesn’t generally work out very well).
