Then I'm sure the police wouldn't mind getting rid of their firearms that hold more than five rounds, right?
hmmm was this the same crowd that claimed that they did not want to take away your guns, just halt the sale of new ones?
I get a kick out of the uproar over registration databases. I know why it matters to gun manufacturers: it makes it easy to institute mandatory insurance which would make guns more expensive. I mean, this story isn't about a registration database; it's about the law in NYC. It's just being spun to be about a registration database.
Can we see a show of hands of the posters that like to say, "You are just paranoid, nobody wants to take your guns."? Go Blazers
Is it ok to pass really bad or even unconstitutional laws and enforce those? You seem to be suggesting its fine.
All I'm suggesting is that people should complain about the law. The enforcement of the law is just those folks doing their jobs.
The law seems unconstitutional. However, to address your post... They don't enforce numerous laws. Like jaywalking. Why? Because it's up to the cops to promulgate the law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promulgation
How dense can you be about this? There are literally THOUSANDS of laws on the books. The vast, vast majority of laws are selectively enforced or not enforced at all. That this law is being so AGRESSIVELY enforced is, in fact, a very valid issue. Try a thought experiment. Add to the US Constitution an amendment that guarantees the right to consume marijuana. Have a state legalize marijuana, allow it to be produced and sold, taxed and regulated of course. As part of the law, sellers must maintain a log of all purchasers. That state then later redefines "consume" marijuana to eliminate its use to get "high". There is debate about the Constitutionality of this new law, but no matter, IF the Supremes decide to hear a case about that law it won't be for years. As part of the enforcement that state uses the purchaser logs to send police to every single past purchaser in the state for "interviews". Those that don't have convicing stories are required to give up their stash. Those who are labled as only wanting to get "high" that refuse to give up their stash, or caught in the future with marijuana are arrested and charged wiht a crime. What say you? Would that be ok?
you make a valid point , Denny. There are many laws that are on the books that the police refuse to enforce.
