A few simple facts show that the current gun legislation being considered is NOT targeting gun violence:
- Only 1.9% of the guns used in crimes were purchased at gun shows
- Only ~1% of gun crimes involve the use of a so called ‘assault weapon’
- Only 0.03% of background checks are denied for mental illness reasons
So what IS the gun control legislation really about? Just like the TSA, it is what I call ‘security theater’, and there are lots of ‘useful idiots’ available to go along with it all.
There is also something more nefarious about the subject of gun control in general: Ask ANY of the leaders of the movement if they could, would they ban all guns. In almost every case, their honest answer would be a resounding YES. Each new gun law is simply another incremental step toward the end goal of eradication guns from the hands of citizens.
