I think there is room to change the gun laws in this country. But we are barely enforcing the ones we have. So whats the point?

Some 18 year old kid with no firearms training, no parental guidance, can walk into a store and buy an AK-47 and 1000 rounds of 7.62x39mm. To my mind, thats not right. But since the BATF basically enforces laws at its own whim, WTF is the point is passing yet another unenforced law? So Bloomberg and Hillary can trumpet a 'victory' for the ultra liberal douchbags that support them?

We do not need any new gun laws, just enforce the existing ones! The new laws are a "knee jerk" reaction to the public and the legislator trying to make the public feel good.

Are you suggesting "1984" here? If you want to futher limit weapon or ammo purchases, where does it end? I used to know guys who had 10-20,000 rounds of ammo in their houses. They stocked up on it, shot it at the range and then reloaded it in the winter. Nothing illegal or suspect with it but now they are being semi-branded as a criminal because of some nut-case's actions.
