Would making guns illegal in America eliminate our American mass murder horror?
Has making marijuana illegal for most of the country eliminated the use of pot? Has making cocaine and heroin illegal eliminated the use of these drugs in our country?
Prostitution is illegal in most of America. Is there prostitution in America? If we made cigarettes and alcohol illegal would this eliminate their usage in America? Murder is illegal in America but it happens about forty times a day in our country. Stealing is illegal but how much shoplifting goes on in Wal-Mart every single day? Making anything illegal does not stop the activity. By the way over 1700 people were killed with knives in 2010.
If we made guns in America illegal would Mexico suddenly have a new tremendous source of revenue? They disperse drugs throughout America and people buy them and use them. Can you imagine if we tried to make casino gambling in this country illegal? Some of the senior adults in this country would throw a fit. I live about fourteen miles from a very big and active Casino and the senior citizen buses coming and going are quite amazing. I have spent maybe $20 in my lifetime playing the one arm bandit. It doesn’t do a lot for me. I’ve heard horror stories of people losing everything in casinos. Yet, while I don’t feel gambling is the best use of my time what business is it of mine if others want to throw their money away? Except, it becomes my business when those same people have to fall back on welfare or society to take care of them.
