ALawyer, I believe you are the one who is incorrect. IF it is legal for law-abiding citizens to legally own and purchase firearms, then could you explain why the federal and state governments keep adding to the laws that make it illegal to own and purchase a gun? There are already more than enough gun laws, now instead of more and stricter laws we need more and improved enforcement. Better pay and training for cops would help. Especially extra courses in ethics and morals. And what we need is people like you, ALawyer, -professional people- that can recognize and address this problem.
