Liberals thrive when there is fear and uncertainty in the general population. Reducing gun crimes is not on the liberal's agenda. Implementing laws that require enforcement and arrest, and subsequently no action, creates a greater dependence on big government for our personal security as an individual. Reducing gun crimes does nothing other than to take away a political wedge used in elections and makes us law-abiding just a little too cocky as a people. We begin to feel safe and secure and that's a path the socialists can't take in order to succeed.
Trigger locks are just one very small example of how liberals implement based on emotional pleas.
Implement laws, don't enforce them, blame the people and implement more laws. Don't count on gun stores in the city or county to challenge these laws. It has been made very clear to us that gun shop owners live in fear of losing their city business licenses if they challenge our elected officials. We claim to live in the greatest democracy in the world, yet intimidation and retribution by local politicians is commonplace today and livelihoods are destroyed for voicing opinions. For that very reason, don't count on the private fish and game clubs to send a slug of people to protest proposed ordinances as well.
