Gun laws are obeyed by the law abiding. Criminals ignore them.
That's what makes 'gun control' a waste of time.
Criminals ignore laws, it's why we call them criminals. The founders of Criminology, Cesare Becaria and Cesare Lombroso, two and three hundred years ago, stated that criminals would always have all the guns they needed.
Lombroso and Becaria further noted that nations which deny citizens a right to bear arms suffer high rates of crime, while nations which respect citizens' right to bear arms enjoy low crime rates.
That's the simple truth: no gun law or any hundred gun laws, existing or proposed, will stop a determined killer.
The only thing which stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
Excellent research has been done over the past thirty seven years, beginning with Dr. Don Kates in 1979 with his book "Restricting Handguns", in which he demolished all the lies told by the anti-gun crowd.
During the 80s and 90s, criminologists Dr. Gary Kleck and David Kopel published extensive research which corroborated Professor of Law, Kates.
During the late 90s, Columbia professor Dr. John Lott published his exhaustive research which corroborated the findings of the above gentlemen. Dr. Lott's book, "More Guns, Less Crime", tells the tale.
If you want more crime, ban guns. Thugs will always have them and they'll be empowered to prey on citizens whom they know to be disarmed and defenseless.
If you want less crime, do what most states in America did, liberalize gun laws and crime will drop.
There exist approximately four hundred million guns in America. Were they so dangerous, as the anti-gun quacks falsely claim, we should all have been dead long ago. But we're not.
Most of the hundred forty million gun owners in America are law abiding and tend to be better educated, professional persons or people who run their own businesses. They do not fit the 'redneck' stereotype endlessly gassed off by our rotten leftist media.
Police officers overwhelmingly support gun rights and the Second Amendment, knowing that 99.999 percent of firearms in America will never be used in a crime.
Of particular note, every single 'mass shooting' was committed in a 'Gun Free Zone', a leftist conundrum created by leftist Joe Biden in 1990 for clearly malevolent reasons.
When a law abiding citizen sees a 'gun free zone', he keeps his gun out of it. When a criminal sees a gun free zone, he sees an easy target on which he can prey with impunity.
Europeans now wish they had a Second Amendment, given the ongoing invasion of their nations by young men of military age in top physical condition who have promised to 'cut off the heads of Europeans'.
No one needs a gun. Until they do. And then it's often too late.

As one who was a teenager who regularly visited New Providence regularly during that seminal era of the late 60s, the troubles are a vivid memory. Seems after a period of quiescence, they've returned as have they in America as well.
This will not end well but end it shall.
Excellent, Nassau Tribune, thank you for stating the truth.
One should be most careful about unleashing trouble, as with a missile it cannot be recalled.

Agree, this looks like a spook site, similar to the chicom spy base at Bejucal, Cuba.
They know exactly what they're doing.
A pleasure to read your posts on this subject. Everything they do, it's never what it seems to be, always about something else.

Thank you for saying it. This looks so out place next to the British Colonial, it looks more like some chicom spy base you'd see in Peking.
Just doesn't fit with the look of downtown.

The chicoms are establishing a beachhead adjacent to America under the guise of resort hotels.
Communist regimes do not change their spots, their goals remain constant.

Blaming FNM, who's been out of power more than three years, for present day criminality is a familiar tune, isn't it?
The stateside version, sung in the same key, is 'It's all Bush's Fault".
Or Regan's. Or Calvin Coolidge's; someone elses fault, anyone but the ones responsible.
