Do "more gun laws" supporters think more new laws will be enforced?

President Obama's administration has turned away from enforcing gun laws,
cutting weapons prosecutions some 40 percent since a high of about 11,000 under former President Bush.

Why do people want MORE gun laws KNOWING existing laws aren't being enforced?

It doesn't make any sense to harm more people who obey the existing laws then enforce the existing laws against those that break the existing laws!

Advanced civilizations visiting earth in the future will look at each other and ask why didn't they just enforce the laws that existed?

Do "more gun laws" supporters think more new laws will be enforced?

Possibly not if Republicans keep slicing budgets to enforce such laws.

how about pressure cooker enforcement laws?

Pressure cookers serve a purpose that doesn't revolve around killing.

Possibly not if Republicans keep slicing budgets to enforce such laws.

In 2007, candidate Barack Obama said, "We know what to do. We've got to enforce the gun laws that are on the books."

The FBI reported 71,000 instances of people lying on their background checks to buy guns in 2009.
But the Justice Department prosecuted a mere 77 cases, or a fraction of 1%.

There's no good reason to not enforce this law and prosecute violators. This also has strong support, with 99% of non-NRA member gun owners and 95% of NRA members expressing support for punishing traffickers to the full extent of the law. This is another area where the Obama Administration can "do better."

The irony is that gun rights advocates have argued for years that it's not that more gun laws are needed, but that the existing laws need to be better enforced.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said, "gun-rights activists [have] been saying for years and years [that] the existing laws should be enforced more effectively and proactively." In line with that, the NRA backed the 2007 NICS Improvement Amendments Act that President Bush signed into law.

Do "more gun laws" supporters think more new laws will keep criminals from getting whatever guns they want?

When will the gun control freaks realize that CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY LAWS?

All of the childish "let's feel good about our efforts to stop gun violence" laws will do NOTHING to stop the violence.

Pat each other on the back all you want. Criminals laugh at you every time you pass a goddamned "gun control" bill.

did Obama say something about, if they bring a knife, we bring a gun?

If Obama enforced ALL of the gun control laws, Eric "Fast and Furious" Holder would be in prison....where he belongs!

why is it when Rats are the primary causes of Americans getting murdered by guns, they are off scott free, as if it's no big deal. yet they want to ban guns. Maybe they don't make a big deal over it when white people get killed.

but you don't really NEED a pressure cooker, all it does is save a bit of time when cooking. One can use a good old fashioned dutch oven, and just braise/stew at normal pressures.

After all, its for THE CHILDREN.
