U.S. attorneys have been slowing gun prosecutions even further, with 2,598 brought in the first seven months of this fiscal year. The pace of activity puts the Justice Department on track to prosecute the fewest ATF cases since 2000, well before the drug gang wars in Mexico sharply increased violence on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have this irony. The Obama administration, which is asking for more in the way of gun regulations \u2014 in terms of increased background checks for private sales and at gun shows \u2014 is actually prosecuting less of the gun laws already on the books,\u201d said Robert Cottrol, a gun control historian at George Washington University. \u201cFor a lot of people, there\u2019s more ideological cache harassing Bubba at the gun show than getting a handle on gun crime.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, they like writing legislation and it’s harder to control the behavior of people who don’t follow the laws – but controlling people who obey the law makes them feel like they’re accomplishing something. But people who obey the law, by definition, aren’t the problem. That’s why the trolls come in here and scold us for clinging to our guns and blocking legislation – they can’t assuage their guilt, they’re not “doing something, anything”. And it’s our fault.<\/p>\n
