And it’s very expensive and the useful results is FAR from “20%”. “The
common layman seems to believe that two bullets fired from the same weapon
are identical, down to the very last striation placed on them by the weapon.
The trained firearms examiner knows how far that is from reality.” (AFTE
Journal, George G. Krivosta, Winter 2006 edition, Suffolk County Crime
Laboratory, Hauppauge, New York.) As I’ve posted: In five years of
execution, Maryland’s ballistics database failed to lead to ANY criminal
arrests or convictions and cost $2,567,633. Arizona is cutting budgets; do
you really believe millions being spent for what doesn’t work is a good
 idea?

handloading/reloading is not all that common among most gun owners, and I’m
willing to bet even less so amongst criminals. I’m hard pressed to find any
news reporting where, when criminal hangouts were raided,
re-loading/handloading supplies were mentioned. Easier to find reports where
multiple guns, lots of storebought ammo found. the reloaders I know are
law-abiding shooting enthusiasts, possessing a higher level of dedication to
safety and security. not the type of folks you find on the SV police sheets.

When gun registry became law in California (“assault weapons”), NYC,
Chicago, and DC; do you REALLY think the criminals registered their guns?
(Does the answer to that question sound as stupid to you as it does to me?)
Criminals LEGALLY do NOT have to register their guns. (U.S. vs Haynes), so
whom do you emote that leaves effected by the gun laws? Tell us what laws did
the law-abiding citizens that registered their guns in California, Chicago,
and D.C. violate to warrant having their legal property seized from them when
the registration was used to confiscate their guns? Again, do you emote the
criminals registered their guns and had their guns taken? And yet there has
not been a single case where registration was instrumental in identifying
someone who committed a crime. (Gun Licensing Leads to Increased Crime, Lost
Lives, John Lott, L.A. Times, Aug 23, 2000)

marciensv states: “No one wants to take your guns…keep them.” This is
of course a lie. Remember the incompetent Janet Reno FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY
GENERAL? She said: “The most effective means of fighting crime in the United
States is to outlaw the possession of any type of firearm by the civilian
populace.” Or Senator Diane Feinstein, speaking on “60-Minutes” about guns
said “if I thought I could get the votes, I’d have taken them all.” That’s
just 2 examples of statements; here is where the guns of the law-abiding were
actually TAKEN AWAY: The law-abiding citizens of California (Black guns the
stupid call “assault weapons”), NYC, DC, Chicago and Nazi Germany
registered their guns and the registry was used to confiscate their LEGAL
 guns.

Lets not fall for the dream that government regulation is the answer to all
of life’s problems. Just look at some recent examples - the recall of baby
cribs because the PARENTS failed to assemble them correctly. Maybe the
parents should be recalled. How about the millions of dollars the butane
lighter industry had to spend to make “child-proof” lighters? Has anyone done
a study on the number of house fires started by children playing with
lighters before the law and then after the law? Of course not. That is not
the point of the regulations. The law was made to make us feel safer, and
appreciate our nanny Big Government for taking care of us. Look at last
week’s study that showed the anti-cell phone laws do NOT result in less
automobile accidents. It used to be a joke when people would complain and
then finish their complaining by saying, “There ought to be a law….”
Unfortunately, many of you love big government and want those laws,
regulating every human activity.
