Comment from a reader on the post: Philippine Gun Control laws didn’t stop the Maguindanao Massacre
Yes but saying “it is NOT legal for a criminal or insane
person to legally acquire a gun in the USA”
is like saying “it is NOT legal to blow through a red light in the Philippines”.
True it is not legal to blow through a red light but people do it all the time
because law enforcement is lax. In the United States, law enforcement at
gun shows is not lax, it is NON-EXISTENT. The fact is there are no background
checks and no restrictions at all at gun shows. An insane felon can buy 50
assault rifles – as long as they do it at a gun show! You made a good point
about Marcos. When the guns were cleaned off the streets during martial law,
the violence in the Philippines
dropped to its lowest point in history. Ask anyone who lived through martial law. You could walk down the streets of Manila and never fear
being robbed or victimized. If you do the same thing, without declaring martial
law, you have a safe, democratic society. Clean up the guns and the killing
stops. Every society in the world knows that… except America.
There is no doubt that American Laws are really strict about Guns sales
