Washington Post admits: Stopping Criminals not Goal of Gun Bill
An interesting admission in the Washington Post:
Moments after clearing the first procedural hurdle, Democrats and gun control groups began readying themselves for a potentially more difficult fight: Weeks of Senate debate defending their carefully crafted legislation against possible amendments — particularly a plan to allow gun owners to carry concealed weapons from one state to another — that would kill the bill’s underlying goal.
If the underlying goal of the “universal background check” bill is not to “keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentaly ill”, both of which are prevented from obtaining concealed carry permits, one must ask what the underlying goal is.
Could the underlying goal be an attack against the gun culture, to obtain registration, then gradual reduction of the number of people allowed to have guns, and eventually gun confiscation?
If not, why not allow univeral reciprocity for those who have shown themselves to be at least as responsible as police officers?
