Fun Tails Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 The first half of the article is the important part. (after that it goes into legalese) http://www.reason.com/news/show/125584.html Quote Link to comment
Insomniac Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Awesome article, thank you for posting it. I only had one problem with this statement: Most of the government's gun laws, in fact, would have no trouble passing the self-defense test (as the Heartland Institute calls it in an amicus brief), because most gun laws are reasonable and don't leave people defenseless. Most guns laws are ineffective in stopping crime and only work to oppress those that will follow them. This means that in cases like the D.C. gun ban law abiding citizens are left defenseless while the criminals run rampant as they simply will not follow the laws. There is a reason why D.C. has the highest murder rate per population in the country. Quote Link to comment
