Gun control

“Go look in Mexico; there is exactly one legal gun store in the entire country and it takes months to get paperwork processed to buy one. Possession of even one firearm or one round of ammunition is good for a five year prison sentence there.

“That does exactly zippo to prevent all those who want to murder from acquiring and using them in Juarez.

“Since it is proved that just a few miles south the most-restrictive gun laws imaginable do exactly nothing to prevent hundreds of murders every year in that city alone no, I will not consent to any further infringement of the 2nd Amendment.”

Karl Denninger, quoted at woodpilereport.com

(Mexico has strict gun control laws in order to keep its people from revolution. Gun control is one thing the governing class learned from the 1910 revolution. The ruling class has succeeded. The people of Mexico have not brought revolution since the laws were instituted. Thousands have died in the on-going drug wars and shootouts and general murders and beheadings. But the people have not revolted against the ruling class.)
