Gun Control and Congress

All that happens with this sort of legislation is that righteous indignation results in stupid solutions

Before any votes are taken in Congress regarding gun laws, I make the following prediction:
  1. Some sort of restrictions will be passed.
  2. Gun control advocates will call it a big win.
  3. Legal gun sellers will change how they do business.
  4. Illegal arms dealers will raise the price of the AR15 or other controlled weapons.
  5. Demand for those weapons on the black market will increase.
  6. Gun violence will not decrease.
    7. All that happens with this sort of legislation is that righteous indignation results in stupid solutions. I guess the only way to prove the point is to pass stupid legislation and see what happens over time. Sadly, unsuspecting Americans will feel safer than they really are.
