the irony is that the places with strict gun control have the worst gun crimes (washington DC, the country of mexico.) since gun control is not federal, all the gun control in the world cant stop thugs from importing guns from the states with no laws.
People can apply all the logic & intelligence they want that society would be safer without guns. This is true when you compare numbers between america & europe.
But guns are protected by the bill of rights, the courts, & a culture of gun love. Alcohol is far more destructive then weed, but alcohol is protected by the constitution.
Sometimes we have to live with the perversions encoded in the law, & use our best judgement in terms of protecting our property/lives given the circumstances.
