Why Gun Control Doesn’t Work | episode 167
This week I talk about why gun control doesn’t work.
In the wake of the Vegas shooting gun control is being talked about again. Let’s define gun control real fast.
Gun control (or firearms regulation)[1][2] is the set of laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians.
Most countries have a restrictive firearm guiding policy, with only a few legislations being categorized as permissive.[3] Jurisdictions that regulate access to firearms typically restrict access to only certain categories of firearms and then to restrict the categories of persons who will be granted a firearms license to have access to a firearm.
And Let’s see what the Second Amendment has to say about it.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I go into several of the reason why gun control doesn’t work. Unless you have magical powers to make all the guns vanish and gun powder no longer work.
