Guns, by definition, shouldn’t be in the hands of civilians, neither outlaws nor good law-abiding citizens, period. Gun ownership should be a state monopoly, period. Civilians should be kept very far away from guns, period.
Why? You might not know, but open and under radar efforts have failed to produce a real impact in this phenomenon, except in Chicago. Eric Holder is in boiling water ever since his Operation “Fast and Furious”, initially designed to prove the link between American arms sellers and Mexican gangs, backfired spectacularly by providing these gangs sophisticated weaponry they wouldn’t have had otherwise.
And there have been a scarcity in guns lately, indeed. But it is only because guns manufacturers just can’t keep up with the huge demand of firearms and ammunition.
The big irony in all this is that Obama would have kept the gun market away from this unexpected frenzy just by doing nothing. The road to hell is paved with good intentions (and is full of guns).
Guns manufacturers must really heart President Obama.
