re with friends like these l neil smith in article c d g xw undergrad math uwaterloo ca papresco undergrad math uwaterloo ca paul prescod writes in article apr sco com allanh sco com allan j heim writes look if you can figure out a reliable means of keeping guns away from bad people while not interfering with good people i think we d all be for it the problem is the methods we re using now don t do the trick don t manufacture them don t sell them don t import them some guns will get through but far fewer and far less people will die because of them hunting weapons could be allowed of course as long as they are big and bulky and require reloading after a few shots how many times can you shoot at the same animal anyways one assumes they are moving first of all let s assume that you are right that fewer guns would make it in to the country that sounds great to those that see guns as inherently evil except then every one of those guns would be in the hands of someone who obviously couldn t care less about following the law after all they got the gun illegally so is more likely to commit a crime with that gun great then everyone with a gun is likely to use it in a crime nice system now as to reducing the number of guns coming into society by making it illegal to manufacture sell or import them in this coutry let me use a parallel for empiric evidence the amount of cocaine in this country is far less since its manufacture sale and importation was out lawwed if that last statement is true then perhaps we should consider your plan this could also apply to drugs in general plain old joe
