"Inherently dangerous"? Guns Knives (Used in many murders and crimes) Baseball Bats Hammers (My state police detective father says this is the most common murder weapon he encounters) Screw Drivers Sling Shots Bows Crossbows Rat Poison Swords Axes Hatchets Blow Darts Ninja Weapons (I didn't want to list them all) Dogs Golf Clubs And so on and so forth.
Anything can be dangerious int he wrong hands. The problem is that those wrong hands don't follow laws. I follow laws and am no threat with my guns. Registering guns is the first step to taking them away. They need to know who has them to force us to give them up. But like I said only law abiding people would register and the criminals and crazies would keep doing what their doing. No law can stop criminals from commiting crimes. |
And yet many of the more egregious gun crimes (like mass shootings) are done with firearms that were legally obtained. More knowledge for law enforcement couldn't hurt.
And it only speaks to paranoia that folks invoke the slippery slope in regards to gun regulations. The fact that they're armed and self-demonstrably paranoid makes me rather frightened.
