Gun laws don't stop career criminals who kill people, but enable the courts to punish them if they get caught breaking the laws. Like most other laws, they don't always work as a deterrent but enable people to be charged etc when and if caught doing wrong according to the law. However, our gun laws do prevent a lot of criminal deaths occuring I am certain, as there is a level of every day violence out there and fatalities would be higher if everyone carried a gun. Mr Heston was definitely wrong and I don't understand his condoning guns for everyone. Not all criminals Metric, are noncaring and out to kill anyone but it happens and a handy gun can turn an unusually angry man who never did anything wrong into a murdering criminal instantly. Strict gun laws can prevent a lot of deaths and terrible injuries in ordinary people's lives especially where alcohol is concerned a gun nearby can turn an argument in a family or between friends into a terrible permanent tragedy for many
criminals dont care about your civil rights.....or gun laws..! how do gun laws stop crimminals?
