Great analysis Phil, and by your reasoning we should never pass any laws of any type because people simply ignore them.   Why have laws against speeding and running red lights, because people do it all the time right?  The sad fact is that you and your fellow NRA advocates are against any type of protections for the general public if, from your skewed perspective, believe it it has any chance of him posing upon your "god given" 2nd Amendment rights.   You NRA Murder Lobbyists have managed to keep weapons in the hands of criminals and mentally ill persons, and I have a difficult time understanding how you would advocate for unrestricted gun ownership under any circumstances.  You clearly need to understand the pain of loss to gun violence, and if only it were possible to delegate you or one of your loved ones as the next victim. By the way Phil, the government isn't coming to take your guns regardless of the delusional beliefs that you may hold.
