Sounds good, in a perfect world...but very, very
wrong. Stolen, and otherwise "illegal" guns are routinely sold, out of the trunks of cars, in the "seedier" sections of quaint, quiet, and otherwise "homespun" Omaha, Nebraska. Restricted gun sales does not, in
any way, restrict access to those that want them. And by "those that want them", I am refering to the little street thugs, and punks, that most definately
will be bothered to get a gun, by any means possible, because it's a status symbol in their little subculture.
To this day (and I've been around for more than a few years), noboby has ever been able to present, to me, a valid argument as to how resticting
my (a law abiding citizen) access to firearms, will restrict access to those who clearly could not care less about laws. It just makes no sense, and demonstrates, in my own opinion, a head in the sand attitude.
For the record...I do not own any handguns. I do, however, own two high powered hunting rifles, and a shotgun. I have no
need for a handgun. However, should I ever feel the need...I do not want that right (and it
is a right) to be restricted.
