Jones, I'm not missing anything. Lots of stuff inconveniences good honest hard-working law-abiding citizens. Traffic lights and speed limits to name just two.

You are absolutely correct that no law will ever keep a gun away from a criminal who really wants one. Nor will drug laws stop illegal drug usage.

Many gun laws are nothing but harassment - some stupid pol wants to win points and the result is cumbersome nuisance laws. These need to be gotten rid of.

But I like the laws that make it more difficult for felons to buy guns (however imperfect they may be). And I don't want to make it easy for somebody who just got paroled for an ax-murder to be able to buy a gun over the counter.

But maybe that's just me.
