Ask Madden

yo yo...So after watching an episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit i really don't understand how anyone can favor full entire gun control. In the episode they interviewed a local politician(woman) from texas who is a big activist for guns. Both of her parents were also murdered by a gun weilding mad man. She told a story about how she was in a diner with her parents 15 years ago and a man came in and executed 22 people, by the time the police got there, her mother, holding her dead father in her arms, was executed. The woman had a gun with her, but laws at the time forced her to keep it in her car. It was after this that she became an outspoken proponent for gun law changes. This woman also scoffed at the notion of "gun free" zones because as she pointed out almost all mass murders occurred in gun free zones.
They also interviewed a former gang member in LA who said how he would laugh at gun control laws because it only made it easier for them because it didn't affect they way they got guns at all, because, well, they did it illegally. He pointed out that all the laws(20,000 on the books) do nothing because if they are bent on breaking the law what's another law for them? Only makes them more at ease knowing no good samaritans that they want to bonk over the head and rob will be armed.
Penn had a very good ending line that sums up the argument well. Insane people will always do insane things. And to think otherwise is insane.
