So instead of enforcing existing law, they pass absurdly restricting laws that by NATURE can not be enforced. Why does this sound familiar?

Gun control laws can be enforced, wonder boy.
Incidentally, this new litigation outlaws the Olympics as well. I smell an amendment comin' up.

Can, but aren't.
If they were, there wouldn't be three million illegal guns in the UK.
Tell me, do they enforce the bans on tasers, nunchuks, pepper spray, spiked wristbands (guess they ain't punk rawk), shuriken, and brass knuckles in Canada?

I meant it sounded familiar in the general similarities, and in the level of stupidity involved. They're obviously not EXACTLY the same.

THere's some debate as to the "reality" of these stories over at snopes.com. Apparently, some accounts say that this "law" has already been withdrawn due to public outcry.

Only two responses until gun control. A record! Uh, for threads about video games. Which are in the wrong forum.

You counted them?
Besides, how does that prove that the laws aren't successful in reducing the number of guns. I'm going to hazard a guess that murder is pretty illegal in the US, and yet, guess what, it still seems to happen. Crazy.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well, spitting on the sidewalk is illegal in most states, but I can't recall the last time somebody got a ticket for it.
Not that this relates to the above conversation. I just like pointing that out.

Hm. They havent caught too many people for sodomy lately, either.
or downloading copyrighted music and movies.
or, even more damaging to the fabric of society, downloading copyrighted movies depicting sodomy! or sodomizing people while listening to pirated music!

Or sodomizing people while they spit on the sidewalk while playing with their new gun.
Except that public indecency would come into play.

hm unless they were in a building sodomizing, and spitting out the window onto the sidewalk.. WHILE THEIR COMPUTER'S TASK SCHEDULER IS PIRATING COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS.
BTW, i saw a 'Picket Fences' where they found a guy innocent of playing with his new gun and killing a cop. A drug dealer was sitting in his house on his couch with a licensed gun in his hand, and a police S.W.A.T. team with a warrant burst in, guns drawn. The officer saw the man was armed, and prepared to shoot and the dealer shot first. He was in his own home with his own gun, and his security system recorded it all and the cops didnt find what they were looking for. It was completely self-defense because the police officer would have necessarily shot him because he was armed, and didn't give him a chance to surrender, in his own home.
So it might not be illegal to play with your new gun.
Then the Borg assimilated them all. Except for the Judge, Boothby. He boxed with Chakotay and Tom Skerrit before the Poltergeist reached out of the mirror and grabbed Carol-Ann.
Well i think thats how it happened.
