<<<<Not hounding you, IG, but when you say,<< Total freedom of firearms
means
that people like this would be free to have firearms. >> you miss the point,
which is that he WAS armed, and from what we know about him he would have
been armed without regard to the law - as are a great many of the criminal
classes. Laws only affect the law-abiding, etc - how many times does this
basic point have to be repeated?>>>>
And how many times does this even more basic point have to be repeated:
If there were no firearms controls, then this individual would have been
able to continue to possess firearms without fear of any sanctions being
applied! He would still be here.
What is hard about that concept!
Ask yourself this: regardless of the bolshevik threat being
dead..........would you be happy for people such as this to have full access
to firearms without any control?
This, I am afraid, is the Emperors new clothes.
Anti gun law advocates never tackle this argument. It wont go away.

Realistically though he had owned firearms legally in this country
for some twenty-odd years, so it's hardly the panacea you are
making it out to be. If all the officers involved in licensing
for those twenty years had been out catching criminals on foot
patrol, would more crooks be in prison now?
Like I said before, I'm not against controls totally, but I don't
think this is a good example of why they are a good idea.
