Time to relegate that tired, worn-out, NRA mantra "criminals don

Avalon - Time to relegate that tired, worn-out, NRA mantra "criminals don't obey laws" to where it belongs: the garbage heap. If the argument has any validity, why have any laws at all? Using that "logic," why have laws against arson, rape, child pornography, or any other crime? After 9/11, did we surrender to evil? Did we give up the fight, saying that nothing can be done because "terrorists don't obey laws?" Of course not. We enacted new laws, stronger laws, and that's exactly what we should do with regard to the epidemic of gun violence in this country.
