Australia tried gun control, but the criminals all did not turn theirs in.

Crime skyrocketed because the criminals knew it was easy picking with unarmed targets everywhere.

You're not serious, are you?

I hope DC enjoys the arming of the street gangs with concealable sidearms.

If I had just landed in the U.S. and you made this statement to me without me knowing any better, I'd have thought that street gangs today did NOT have weapons. LOL!

I'm a fan of "Tru TV" that shows cop shows, chases, etc. The other day, cops were going after two gang members and were shot at by a fully automatic weapon. No one was hurt, thank goodness.

If I'm not mistaken, it's illegal to own a fully auto weapon. And the perp's were felons to boot. I guess the law couldn't stop them. Why would we want the law to stop law abiding citizens from protecting themselves? Geesh.
