He will never acknowledge this, but his attacks on the Second Amendment have sparked a renewed interest in guns, and people like myself who would never have thought of purchasing guns in the past are now buying them. The Gun Control movement, fueled primarily by a combination of ignorance and irrational hysteria, has decided that the only way to put an end to gun violence is to pass ridiculous restrictions on honest Americans. Their goal is to somehow hold us responsible for the acts of criminals. Immediately, I noted three major problems with this line of thinking. Obviously these are common sense for most of us and shouldn't need to be discussed.
Criminals can still murder without firearms.
To commit homicide, all that is required is an evil conscience. If guns are somehow removed from their hands, they will have no trouble adapting. Violent criminals represent a relatively small percentage of the population. No illness has ever been corrected by curing the symptom. Gun Control does just that.
