Do you suppose, if someone was going to get a wepon to commit a crime. They would buy one over the counter with a waiting period and then go get a concealed weapon permit? I think not. So who is this law aimed at? Not the criminal at all, but the law abiding citizen. The mentally stable go to work everyday guy. Not the Wacko that is going to shoot up a campus and don't want to tip anyone off. For sure not the felon that is planning an armed robbery. Surly not the Gang banger that has already stolen his gun from a sporting goods store or illegal gun dealer.

If the Law is unenforceable it can serve no good purpose. There are laws that forbid the gun ownership by felons in most states. Why is it they can't stop a repeat felony with a fire arm that was not supposed to be in their possession. This law is not aimed at them. they have laws for them, that they can't enforce. This law is aimed at us. You and me. If you can't see that you need glasses.

I suggest, that when, not if, this law fails to work, and it won't work because crazys and felons don't abide by the law. they will make a new law. One that may not take the privilege of gun ownership completely but kiss you concealed weapon permit good bye. possibly any gun transported has to be under triple lock and disassembled in the trunk of a car, and ammunition can not be transported in the same trip. But still would the crazy people or felons abide by that law? Then they will out law all guns. Is that going to help? No then just the crazys and felons will have guns. I can see where the crime rate would go at that point.

If a mental midget of a law maker thinks they can legislate morality, they are very stupid. This is about political hype at the expense of gun owners this time, maybe smokers last time and possibly motor sports next time, Bunny huggers don't like noise and air pollution. Think hard on this it's just not about guns, it's about freedom. A cold beer after work isn't far behind the gun or cigarette. MADD has a big lobby. Seems the only ones that don't have a lobby are the sick and poor. They can't afford one.

Don't buy into trying to legislate morality. The only one that can do that Is God, and that is because he can punish it. Them politicians are no gods, no matter what they think. People that buy into this mostly believe there is no free lunch and if a deal is too good to be true it's probably not. So what is different about this. Don't let either side tell you how to think, or they will be doing your thinking for you.
