This article at cracked.com has been cited all over by just about everybody, and if you haven't been over to read it, you belong to a rather small circle. Here's a blog that doesn't normally specialize in guns, noting that gun laws in the U.S. are a pretty random collection of prose.
Me, I find them most interesting when you look into the reasoning that brought them forth in the first place. The Sullivan Law in New York was put in place by a corrupt politician at the behest of the Irish criminal constituency in an effort to prevent the Italians from cutting in to their territory. We all know how well that worked, don't we?
From the article:
To some Democrats, the only good gun owner is one that has been licensed, examined and regulated down to a BB gun and a slingshot. To some gun owners, the only good Democrat is a target. The Democrats are fully in favor of gun control, licensing and regulation.
The Dems are fully in favor of controlling, licensing, and regulating everything, every one, and every activity in which they might participate. Gun owners are not being treated differently, they're just being treated first. People in need of a visit to a doctor are next in line.
Car owners are already well in to the process. What other piece of personal property must be individually inspected and the license renewed annually. Oh yes, dogs and cats.
I don't advocate shooting politicians, at least not in this country, since this action seems to usually benefit the party of the shootee rather than the beliefs of the shooter. Still, to paraphrase someone else, there are a number of obituaries it would give me great pleasure to read.
