gun control is a fiction unless you live in a full on police state, which is the direction the empire is headed in as they create situations around the edges to facilitate that goal, and hornberger gives you some evidence to consider as you watch the movie unfold;

Not surprisingly, the recent massacre in New Zealand has brought out the gun-control crowd, big time. It’s always so predictable. Rather than focus on the root causes of gun violence, such as the drug war, the perpetual war on terrorism, the forever wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan, and the daily stream of assassinations being carried out by the U.S. national-security establishment, the gun-control crowd immediately seizes on gun massacres to promote their gun-control agenda.

A good example of this phenomenon appears in an article entitled “Gun Control: Lessons from the East” by Devika Khandelwal that appeared recently on a website called Modern Diplomacy. Writing in the wake of the massacre in New Zealand, Khandelwal praises the new gun-control law enacted in that country, which includes a halt on the importation of assault rifles, a gun-buyback program, the confiscation of 650,000 automatic and semi-automatic rifles, a gun registry for all guns owned in the country, and a new permit requirement for all new firearms purchases.

Essentially, there are two gun-control positions.

The first position is that when the government enacts a gun-control measure, would-be murderers will comply with it. The idea is that since the law is the law, people can be expected to obey it.

But obviously, that is a ridiculous notion. If a murderer is not going to comply with a law against murder, he’s not going to give a hoot about complying with a law against owning an assault rifle or any other illegal gun. He is going to do whatever he can to get his hands on the guns that are going to enable him to commit murder.............https://www.fff.org/2019/03/28/leftist-yearning-for-a-gun-free-society/
