ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[HairOfTheDog]

More gun laws won't work, maybe if they start enforcing the existing ones, maybe. You can't put the Genie back in the bottle like some other countries are possible.

That's original and has never been stated in this thread or all over the web by gun enthusiasts for ages.

Anyway, I still don't see why you singled out Mexico in your astute post. But whatever.

I agree better enforcement of gun laws is desperately needed. And, I support some of the new guns laws passed in Florida and hope/think they will prevent some gun violence. They're not mutually exclusive strategies.

What do you mean about putting the Genie back in the bottle -- are you referring to the U.S. having a constitutionally-guaranteed right to bear arms?

If so, some countries have indeed put that Genie back in the bottle (though I'm not one who supports repealing the Second Amendment).

Constitutions which historically guaranteed a right to bear arms are those of Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Liberia, Mexico, Nicaragua and the United States of America.

Nearly all of the Latin American constitutions were modeled on that of the
United States.

Currently, only three still include a right to bear arms: Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States.
