Just because I don't pay any child support, is that any reason to snub me on Father's Day year after year?

It's not unreasonable. It'd at least render a lot of the guns that people already own far less effective. Here in Australia, we have a ridiculously high tax on cigarette smoking, and smoking is comfortably declining.

Perhaps the same could occur for gun violence in the US?

Those without common sense are dumb. UNTIL THE PASSIVE, WEAK AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IDIOTS start focusing on the parasite that uses the gun, you accomplish NOTHING! EXAMPLE: A convicted cop killer now violates a federal law and he/she is lethal injected in 30 days.

No plea, no reduced sentencing, no early out for good behavior. You are a corpse on day 30. PERIOD.

Now, how many in their own minds who would kill a cop, would actually kill a cop knowing that's their outcome? EXAMPLE: Even carry a concealed gun never brandished it during a crime, looks at if caught and convicted, 20 year "minimum" in a secluded cell never to come out of that cell. No plea, no reduced sentencing, no early out for good behavior.

Common sense test question: > If a gun using murderer doesn't follow the illegal use of a gun law today, what makes you think that any numerous amount of more gun / ammo regulations will cause him to follow laws tomorrow? You see, it's so simple that even a 10 year old with common sense sees it. The choice of weapon to commit crime is a gun.

No law will slow down that. More laws won't make it stop, it'll just make the gun running industry start to explode....UNTIL - the focus is on the criminal not the gun he uses to commit crime. What then?

==> The innocent and law abiding people will continue to be victims?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
