Why do the powers that be enact legislation

that is more than likely to be ignored?

For decades there have been murmurings of a so-called 'assault weapons' ban in PA.

Why?

If one simply looks at how it has worked out in other states and gave it thought they would not even bother. Compliance in other states seems to run single digits.

Fact is that the American people generally only obey the laws they want to.

Enacting laws that people are not going to obey makes our elected officials look foolish.

I remember a state governor running his mouth and carrying on about how the State Police were going the strictly enforce the new 'assault rifle' ban and shaking my head because the governor was so out of touch that he didn't realize that probably half of the state troopers owned one.

He sure looked impotent and stupid.

All bans really do is create more crime because black markets spring up and black markets are not controlled by governments.

The classic example is prohibition.

  1. Correct. That's a given that they want to outlaw guns. "I support the 2nd Amendment...BUT'' means they want to outlaw them all. In reality that would take a house to house tear the place up search and Karen won't tolerate that for an instant. Most cops I have chatted with have said they simply won't go along with it.

  2. The gun grabbers will never quit. Ultimate control of the populace is probably their goal. If you want my gun come and get it.
