More Gun Control talk
Well, here we go again. Another week, another shooting and more posturing from our politicians. As everyone knows by now, there has been a rash of shootings in 2012. There was the Oikos University shootings, the Aurora shootings, the Sikh Temple shootings, and the now infamous Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. Not to mention all the other shootings where only a few people people were killed (Millard South High School and University of Alabama).
I'm sure many have already pointed this out, but new gun control regulation will have little effect on gun crimes. America, being the homeland of gun, cannot be disarmed. It would be next to impossible to go door to door and take guns away from American citizens, and we all know that going door-to-door is the only way to really "control guns". In addition, any government regulation seeking to limit the 2nd Amendment is bound to hurt only law abiding citizens and not criminals.
Since I live in California, we have the strictest gun control in the Union. I heard someone say that we have over 10,000 gun laws in California, but I don't know if it is really that much. I looking it up and only counted 20 some odd:
California Gun Laws - All 50 pages. Still pretty damn convoluted.
It's interesting to note that a nunchaku is outlawed along with guns under Penal Code Sec. 12020(c)(3). It's defined on page 6 as "an instrument consisting of two or more sticks, clubs, bars, or rods to be used as handles connected by a rope, cord, wire, or chain." This is in the same section which covers sawed-off shot guns, which kinda makes carrying a pair of nunchucks just as bad as a hiding a sawed-off shot gun in your coat.
