Gun control. The gift that keeps on giving — mostly to criminals.
Ignorance must be bliss when you are a politician rubber-stamping every gun restriction that crosses your desk. Ban this. Ban that. Ban anything that sounds scary in a thirty-second sound bite.
Take handgun shoulder stabilizing devices. Take laser sights. Tools designed for one simple purpose: accuracy. Stability. Control. But apparently accuracy is the problem.
When lawmakers outlaw devices that help a lawful gun owner hit what they aim at, they are not reducing danger. They are increasing it. Missed shots do not disappear. They land somewhere. Into a wall. Into a car. Into someone’s grandmother who just happened to be standing in the wrong place.
The irony is thick. These laws are inspired by street gang chaos. Yet the very people driving that chaos are the least disciplined shooters on the planet. They spray and pray. They target each other. And when they miss, innocent people pay.
Meanwhile, an elderly citizen with arthritis, fading eyesight, and shaking hands is told, “Sorry. You do not get the tools that might actually help you defend yourself.”
Criminals get initiative. Law-abiding seniors get handicaps.
These bans do the exact opposite of what they claim. They do not prevent violence. They increase the odds that the wrong person gets hit.
That is not public safety. That is legislative malpractice.
