Gun-control advocates should specify what laws would have made a difference in Colorado Springs and San Bernardino and let’s talk about them – nobody wants these tragedies to continue. But stop wasting our time on things that won’t stop mass murderers
The recent tragedies in Colorado Springs and San Bernardino have prompted more calls for gun control. But what controls? And will they work?
Gun-control advocates say we need universal background checks and bans on assault weapons and gun sales to those on the no-fly list. Unfortunately, these laws are not likely to stop terrorists or deranged persons determined to commit mass murder.
Both Colorado and California have universal background checks, which means they require a background check on every sale – retail or private. These checks did not stop the recent attacks. Yet President Obama, Hillary Clinton and other gun control advocates keep pushing such checks at the federal level.

Here is a question to ask of the gun control/confiscation gang, and be prepared for either silence or an evasive non-answer. Ask them as to how well the current regulations and laws are being enforced? Why have a new law if you are not enforcing the ones that are already on the books. Of course we know what they really want- total confiscation (expect those who have a "need" for them).
