What legal action would have to be taken for them to do so? An order from a judge or something?

No, he was a legal gun owner. That said, he did have some mental problems and has "smoozed" up to the police to legally own weapons if my memory is correct. Joe A

The third world example is a "Prime Directive" issue. We shouldn't give technology to people who aren't ready for it.
The majority of Gun Control in the 19th century was directed towards keeping slaves and former slaves from owning guns. These laws were then extended to cover the immigrant community. Guns were everywhere, including in the cities. Direct robbery was a way of life in most cities, and there were no credit card or checks. You needed to buy something, you had cash. The NY Sullivan act, one of the first sweeping gun control bills, was directed against immigrants, specifically Italians. The fact that Sullivan was involved in organized crime and this was a means to secure his own people and to arrest opponents, shouldn't be taken too lightly. Quote:

If you take a gun away from a law abiding citizen, the criminal will either find a gun or other weapon to commit a crime. Taking a legal weapon away from a law abiding citizen turns that person into a ready made victim IMHO. Both the facts in England and Australia prove this. Joe

crime is more related to social conditions than to gun ownership (or the lack thereof).

I'm so glad I live in Illinois, the state with the most restrictive gun-ownership laws...

I'd love to. Texas is really the ideal state to live in, IMO.
Unfortunately, I'm tethered with "golden handcuffs" to a good job in a good area.

January 27, 1905 New York Times Editorial -
[The proposed gun control] measure would prove corrective and salutary in a city filled with immigrants and evil communications, floating from the shores of Italy and Austria-Hungary. New York police reports frequently testify to the fact that the Italian and other south Continental gentry here are acquainted with the pocket pistol, and while drunk or merrymaking will use it quite as handily as the stiletto, and with more deadly effect. It is hoped that this treacherous and distinctly outlandish mode of settling disputes may not spread to corrupt the native good manners of the community. ![]() |

I love it when a group with a cause uses a weak correlation between two factors with no cause-effect relationship as a rationale for a misguided law.

As for myself, I'm part of no such group. I have however seen average or good people do stupid things (criminal like stuff) because they were broke and desperate or just bored and stupid. Then again it may be a fine line between golden opportunity, aggressive entrepeneurialship and crime. Just ask Jack Abramoff. ![]()
