[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] So maybe we should just have laws preventing people on parol from buying weapons. What's that you say? We already have laws like that? Well then, why not enforce them? That's how the liberal idea of gun control laws works: pass new law, don't enforce law, say "law doesn't work, must need new law", repeat step one. But seriously, if you did a background check for previous criminal record before selling someone a gun, and refuse to sell them one if they're on parol or previously commited a violent crime and was released from prison within, say, the last five years, it seems like that would eliminate a very high percentage of gun-related crime. Maybe that should be part of sentencing for convicts of violent crimes. "This court sentences you to ten years in prison, with possibility of parol after five years. This court also rules that you will not be allowed to purchace a firearm for five years after your release." It makes more sense for a judge to, well, judge each situation, rather than use broad legal generalizations. Just say that the judges CAN, not that they have to. [/QB][/QUOTE]
