New gun laws

I spend everyday working with felons and addiction issues. I have been doing this for 20 years and no matter what you think, new laws regarding the purchase of any type of guns are totally useless.
Here is why and it’s not based on emotion just in fact. There are literally tens of thousands of illegal guns in our country that are readily available for snd in the hands of criminals. These weapons never can be controlled as they are stolen, brought into our country through the ridiculous open border. Gang and traded in the streets. The problem is a people problem. Laws that continue to release known criminals with existing laws being ignored and mental health issues also being ignored and not treated.
Criminals, gangs, and radical groups of every type do and will continue to have open access to weapons no matter what the laws allow.
This is based on talking to felons and seeing the availability for 20 years.

@OggggO "In Kennesaw, Georgia, local law says that “every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm.”

Funny thing, crime rate dropped. Wonder why?

@sunsporter1649 They don't actually enforce that law. And of course, I seriously doubt you can provide evidence the crime rate changed to any statistically significant degree compared to ongoing trends.

@OggggO LOL, I actually lived about 10 miles away from there. Kennesaw is about half way between Atlanta and Chattanooga, a coinvent place for the gang bangers from both cities to exchange narcotics and gunfire. Funny thing, the gang bangers moved elsewhere after the law took effect. Wonder why....

@sunsporter1649 Because when you make shit up, you can pretend anything you want, that's why.
