Let me try a serious question and try a serious answer. Do u think there is any possible way to know if this law stops a shooting?

What if a thug neighbor is angry because somebody parks in his spot or somethin stupid like that. The new law delays this guy getting a gun. After the wait, he calms down and decide not to shoot his neighbor. How does a statistic like that show up as saving a life? Just an example

No I don't think there will be any evidence of this law stopping a shooting. But I do think that you can get stats on how many crimes were either lessened or prevented by someone having a gun/s.

A. I'm guessing if he gets that uptight over a parking spot, he already has a gun.

B. Most people who are shooting others probably didn't get their guns through the legal process anyway.

or

C. So it turns in to a stabbing instead of a shooting.

If the guy is crazy enough to shoot a fuckin neighbor over a parking space, he will find other ways to get him. He isn't going to go sign for a gun because he is angry and go shit, i have to wait. Ok, i've calmed down now. Seriously man ........

That's a lot of assumptions. There are plenty of other examples. U see people killed over road rage incidents where the guy that does the shooting never committed a crime in his life. People do lose it over stupid things sometimes.

Stricter gun laws are good but there really is no way to back it up. You aren't gonna turn on the news and hear headlines that there was almost a shooting

[Jamaicanman]

But you will hear about a property owner protecting his home, or more importantly, his family, by shooting an intruder. And I think it sends a message to potential intruders. "Damn, does this house have someone armed in it?"

Or maybe a mugging stopped on the street.

[wayne1218]

That's a lot of assumptions.

My assumptions are NO DIFFERENT than yours. I would also bet it is more than an assumption that most of these gang bangers have their guns ILLEGALLY!

[vitterd]

Jman. None of these new restrictions stop people from having a gun in their home.

Also wayne. I was just giving u examples. Trying to show that there is no way to see if the new gun restrictions work. Its just not possible. Also people do flip out and lose over stupid shit all the time. Less guns and tougher restrictions does more good then harm. Honestly, what is the problem if u have to wait for the proper checks?

The problem is the the bad guys are getting guns w/out a check and the law doesn't change that.

That is true. But every murder is not done with an illegal gun.

So even if the little inconviences that come with the new law saves a life or two its prob worth it. I just don't understand why some guys get so crazy about it

[wayne1218]

That is true. But every murder is not done with an illegal gun.

You are right, so how does the law prevent that? It doesn't. The law is meaningless.
