Gun control is stupid. The concept that by eliminating weapons, society eliminates the crime is so absurd it beggars comprehension.
Guns are inanimate objects, last time I checked. It requires an active effect from a decision-making agent to operate, and even thus, only is effective through careful and considered activity.
This same argument also works against so-called 'temporary insanity.' If you can kill, you are not insane enough to escape consequence--even where passions are overarching.
"The power to ban crime, unexpressed, commands crime."
"The problem with the death penalty is that there is no way to mete justice to the dead."
Justice is a fallacy, where the state requires its citizens to abdicate their power of protection in favour of civic force--as civic force is never immediate, never pro-active, and seldom engaged. Terms of division, such as "justice" versus "vigilantism" only serve to demonstrate the need of the statist elements to secure their prime position as arbiters of things relevant to what should be the purlieus of the citizen--including the directives that propel the same state to exist and to seek to extend its existence indefinitely and in despite of its constituents...it is a shame of modern "democracy" that citizen apathy grants so much room for abuse to the state.
The first solid sign of the decay of any society is the regular sound of people saying "I'm just doing my job..."
"And will boredom overcome a people who, having fought for leisure, are afflicted by their victory?"
