The fallacy of gun-control

It has been stated so many times that it has been become a cliche---if you get rid of guns, only the crooks will have guns.  This latest drive towards gun-control came as a result of the school shooting in Connecticut.

This Washington Times article has a quote worth noting here, but it is not going to get through to these thick-headed types who insist upon legislating ineffectual laws that won't address the real issue:

Before the Newtown tragedy, the Brady Campaign determined that Connecticut was the fifth highest-rated state for restrictive gun-control laws. Adam Lanza ignored those laws — such as including stealing the guns, carrying them without a permit and violating the federal “gun free” school zone — in his evil mission to murder school children and teachers.[emphasis added]

 What gun-control supporters don't get or don't care is that the laws just passed do not address any of these basic facts.  The only people who are going to observe these laws are the very ones who are the least likely to do any harm.  The ones most likely to violate the laws won't be deterred from violating this one either.

This isn't about gun-control, it's about people control.  But they are controlling the wrong people.  The ones they should be controlling are the ones they are protecting.  The government itself needs to be brought under control.

We need government control, not gun-control.
