Gizmo, It seems that they are.
They also believe in punishing a majority for the idiocy, violence and criminal activity of a miniscule minority.
In fact most firearms owners would be happy to see any punishments of firearms related crimes doubled, tripled or even quadrupiled. Punish the criminals not people that are and have been doing the right thing.
They're using statistics. The more firearms on the market - even legally, the more that end up in the wrong hands.
Even a little tightening of these laws, means fewer getting to the streets.
They should make bows illegal also - along with the Shooters Party, which should be renamed the Hunting Party.
If they're using 'statistics' then they are morons.....
"The more firearms on the market - even legally, the more that end up in the wrong hands." the 'firearms on the Market' are NOT used for illicit purposes...
All 'legally' purchased firearms are legally registered...
The guns used for Armed hold ups and gun crimes are purchases ILLEGALLY, from illegal sources....
As much as I dislike 'Americanism' the Americans(as in the NRA) are right when they say things like "When guns become outlawed, only outlaws will have guns"..
It's cheaper to buy an illegal pistol in a pub than it is to buy a legal pistol....
