"Originally posted by kelvin90701 `` Canada , Australia , and New Zealand all have many guns ( though not nearly as many handguns as does the United States ) . The key difference is that these countries do a much better job than we do of keeping guns out of the wrong hands . Their experience shows that when there are reasonable restrictions , relatively few outlaws can possess or use guns. `` - http : //www.vahv.org/NEJM-ed.html I am 100 % in favor of outlaws not having guns . If you have not noticed , 3 groups of people can not have guns in this country . 1 ) The insane 2 ) Criminals 3 ) Domestic violence perps It is currently illegal for outlaws to have guns . Passing another law will just make outlaws `` double-lly `` illegal . NO MORE LAWS are need . ENFORCEMENT of current laws is what is needed . If law # 1 is not enforced , what makes you think law # 2 will be enforced ?"
"Well if you 're going to quote that article that mentions Canada to support your opinion , then does that mean you 're in favor of gun registration and licensing ? Canada has them . And if the NRA is really interested in enforcing laws why do they ask congress to reduce the budget of law enforcement ? The NRA uses its political muscle to make it easier for criminals to obtain guns . Robert Ricker , former top lawyer of the NRA , talks about it ."
