Don't Be Surprised if Gun Owners Don't Comply With Gun Control Laws Getting a law passed is not the same thing as getting people to obey.

Media outlets love reporting the results of polling on hot-button policy issues, but they rarely tell you if the people supporting proposed legislation (especially when it's restrictive) are the same people who would be affected by it. That matters in several important ways, not least of which is that getting a law passed is not the same thing as getting people to obey. Nowhere does that matter more than in the heated debate over gun laws.

  1. These politicians that support more gun control laws should set the example by doing away with their armed body guards first. It would make them all do a better job of representing the people that elected them.
    But if they are going to have guns protecting them everyone in America deserves to have the choice of the same protection.
