What evidence do you have the if we vigorously enforce the laws we already have that they are not effective?And if those laws are not enforced how effective are they?Consider this: There is no efficacy to have speed limits, stop signs or Red Light restrictions;no need to license medical doctors, lawyers, or teachers; no law to prevent murder, kidnapping for ransom or lying under oath if your logic made sense.
Your logic suggests your doctor has a degree in basket weaving, on his way to treat your burst appendix, he ran two red lights and four stop signs and lied to you that you won't need anesthesia for this minor surgery.
Noting here changes - and, indeed, only serves to prove - the fact you can neither soundly demonstrate the necessity for nor the efficacy of the restrictions you seek - thus, you further illustrate there is no sense in them whatsoever.
Keep up the good work.
For the record, you can read words, it seems you can't comprehend what they mean when put together in a paragraph, when in an expository argument.
For the record (which seems too abstract for you to understand) the law CANNOT prevent law breaking, it can punish the law breaker by restricting their liberty and/or assessing a fine.
If your State required a license to own, possess or have in your custody and control a gun, and you had said license, you right to own your gun(s) is not infringed; no more so than a surgeon must be licensed or a driver to drive a car.
Your own argument is that our federal gun laws are ineffoective because they are not enforced so how would any new laws be more effective if they are not enforced?
Don't you think we should vigorously enforce the gun laws we do have before we pass more laws?
What evidence do you have that laws yet to be passed will not be effective in keeping guns out of the hands of those most of us know should not own, possess or ever have in their custody and control a firearm?
[BTW you first paragraph states my argument is that our Federal Government's laws are ineffective because they are not enforced: A Straw Man which won't burn since I never stated that nor believe it]
How would you enforce the gun laws "vigourously"?
You said our federal gun laws are not effective and that we need more gun laws not me.
Our gun laws are not enforced, if they were anyone convicted of possessing a firearm illegally would be doing at least 5 years in federal prison but instead gun charges are usually the first charges to be bargained away
When some communities actually enforced gun laws they did indeed see a reduction in crime
