And then there is speeding. We all speed anyway. I know I do. So abolish speed limits.
Answer is this will lead anarchy and we are a civilized society and most of us are law abiding. So in a civilized society it is good to know and yes regulate who can buy and own a gun legally. Operative word is legally and not ownership.

I love marijuana. But, I do not use marijuana because it is illegal in my state and my employer does the urinalisys thing. Some people apparently don't care, but I do and I'm pretty sure there are others like me.

I often, but not always, speed too. On rare occasion, feloniously so......so long as I think there are no cops around or the weather is bad, or traffic too heavy.

BINGO! It's that gap, that reluctance, the difference between some gun sellers deciding whether to break the law, or not, that might save a few lives. Might make them be just a little more cautious about who they sell to. How anyone can be against that?

I don't think anyone expects any of these laws to be 100% effective, unless they are a fool. However, I tend to believe that anyone who thinks a law that is not 100% effective is an indication that it is totally unnecessary is an even bigger fool.

Trust me, I LOVE to go fast. Take away the speed limits and................you WILL want to stay the hell out of my way.
