Too bad they weren't enforced sooner or a life may have been saved

So the guy would have been defenseless against an armed group of vigilantes at best trying to throw him out into the street in winter.

I guess it wasn't clear...I also think that laws regarding evictions, threatening with a deadly weapon, etc. ought to be enforced too.

The problem is that enforcement of gun laws by both practice and design exists to enable vigilantes and punish "undesirables" who are often the people who actually need guns to defend themselves like this man.

Like why aren't any of the vigilantes being charged but the one guy who fought for his life is?

Well, because one is dead and the others are being pursued as we speak. I hope they're found and charged too, for sure.

Oh, i see, so the evections should be enforced by guys with guns. Against people who no longer have guns. Seems like the guns are kinda important and everybody should have them

Lol what you want to do no knock raids on people who bought magazines in the past? You want another Brenna Taylor incident? I doubt the guy shot more than 10 times lol. Also they just throw charges to see what sticks. You're allowed less than 16 inch barrel if it's on a pistol.

Interested in the 16 inch barrel charge as well. Wonder if it was actually a stock or they are trying to make the charge stick on a pistol brace.

I mean, obviously not. Are those really the only two options you see, either murder civilians, or ignore laws?

So then how do you enforce these laws? You can make as many unconstitutional laws as you like but if you can't enforce them then isn't it just for show? Kinda like the straw laws lol

I don't, because I'm not in law enforcement

> You can make as many unconstitutional laws as you like

No I can't, I'm also not in the legislature anymore
