There are no new laws that will curb gun violence. Nothing: not a heigthened background check requirement, ammo background check requirement, mag restrictions, specific weapon restriction .... not one thing that a law maker could suggest as a new law will have an impact on the root of the problem. The root problem is any gun violence is usually either a criminal act in and of itself or the direct result of a criminal act.
The use of a gun to commit a crime or to prevent a crime -- the only reason you'd use a gun to prevent a crime is in the event of potentially deadly harm, therefore just as serious as using the gun itself -- is an act so deeply profound that no law is going to prevent it.
So why not try things our way? Lets try eliminating gun free zones, armed citizens, a loosening of restrictions, and an almost militant effort to enforce laws already on the books. Let's try it our way and see what happens to gun violence.
Because obviously the agenda is not really about curbing violence or preventing crime. The agenda is about control. Pure and simple.

I say they add an automatic 10 year prison sentence onto any felony committed with a gun. That will put most of Chicago and Washington DC away for a long time.

Oh, they wouldn't have a problem with it; only it'll only apply to the otherwise law-abiding public that are only criminals because of their gun control laws. True criminals will still roam the streets and fall through the gaping cracks in the system that enables them today!
But wait, no gun zones in Chicago have been such a success! And criminals in NYC know there odds are in their favor since its so hard to get a gun permit.

That's probably true of some of the politicians, but I think there are a lot of people out there (including some of the politicians) that sincerely believe that gun control will curb the violence. They also believe that the notion of "more guns equates to less violence" is so absurd that there is no convincing them with statistics or historical proof.
My boss (who is an otherwise intelligent woman) rolls her eyes and dismissively waves me off when I talk about eliminating gun free zones. She is one of those "the streets will run red with rivers of blood" people and there are a lot of them out there.

You should point out to her that the critics were saying the exact same thing back in the early 90's when Florida got its concealed carry law. There was mass panic among the liberal crowd, saying things like, "People will be shooting each other over parking spaces!," and other such stupidity. And of course, we all know what happened; Florida's violent crime rate dropped significantly by every statistic known to man.

The agenda of Liberals is not just about control.
The Liberal agenda is about turning our Nation of a Free Republic into a socialistic/communistic dictatorship.
Anyone who can not see this is spending too much time with there head where the sun does not shine. (Think Ostrich.)

Look what has happened in just the last four years. Obummer said he would "Fundamentally Change This Country" & that change is in progress. We are about to become a third world dictatorship, if he gets his way.
There certainly are people, including the anti gun politicians, who's agenda all along has been, and will always be to restrict gun ownership. That's nothing new. Many of the regular Joes who are anti are honestly terrified of guns and their psychological makeup will not allow them to consider even the possibility that any pro-gun stance can be right. They honestly believe that we can get rid of all guns, even the ones in the hands of criminals. They cannot accept the reality that this is not a realistic expectation. And they simply cannot and will not accept even the remote possibility that guns can be used for good.
Here's another important factor that I always make sure to tell people. In a lot of cases where a gun prevented a crime, no shot was fired and no one was injured. Even most criminals have enough sense to back off when there's a gun pointed at them.
So it becomes a question of, which situation is worse?
A. A woman presents a gun and the attacker backs off, making the entire thing a non-event.
-or-
B. She's brutally raped and murdered because the politicians denied her 2nd Amendment rights, leaving her unprotected because she obeyed the law.
And if they try the one about, "But....but.....but the gun is more likely to harm her!," then just punch them in the mouth.
Mac, they don't want to try something that will work. Like you said,it's not about curbing violence, or public safety, those are smoke screens. They talk about taking away the rights of tens of millions of law abiding Americans, and how it would be worth it, if it saved just one life. Meanwhile they support,fund, and promote killing institutions , slaughter houses that make what Hitler did look like childs play. And they cover this up by calling it "a womens health issue" The biggest bunch of liars and hypocrites the world has ever seen.
They will not try it our way because this whole thing is not about saving the kids, public safety or any of that.
Its about control.
Its about taking your minds off the poor job this administration is doing on the economy.
Its about disarming citizens so they are totally dependent on the government for everything (food, housing, health, security)
It probably will not happen on the current watch, but the Progressives have been & will be planning, & working for the Looooong Term. The end goal is a Socialist/Communist Utopia. This is just one more step toward that goal.
