Who arms criminals with guns? Why, gun owners and gun sellers, of course. Nobody else.
Thieves arm criminals of course.
Assisted by gun owners. Definitely not assisted by those who don't own guns.
The Newtown shooter was armed by his mother. The Aurora shooter was armed by gun sellers. The Columbine shooters were armed by gun owners. All criminals who have guns get their guns through a path which originates from gun sellers or gun sellers to gun owners.
What's worse, virtually every one of those gun owners who gave up their guns to criminals go out buy more guns. Thus the escalation of guns to 300 million guns in this country, which is the problem.
Irresponsibility of gun owners and gun sellers are the reason for the arming of criminals.
Let me make sure I understand this.
Mr. Bad Guy is bad. That's why he's Mr. Bad Guy.
To make sure Mr. Bad Guy can't get a gun, we restrict Mr. Good Guy by preventing him from having a gun. That way Mr. Bad Guy can't get a gun from Mr. Good Guy.
For your own protection, of course.
The underlying problem is a lack of morality. If there were no guns anywhere, in the entire world (governments included), and we had the same moral decay that we have today, the assault weapon ban "debate" would be whether Mr. Good Guy could have a sword to defend himself, because we know Mr. Bad Guy gets his swords from Good Guys.
I have yet to see a gun, assault or otherwise, that shoots of its own accord.
