Hawaiian Felon Proves Just How Useless Gun Control Is
bearingarms.com
Gun control advocates always have an excuse for why their proposals fail. Either there are just not enough laws or guns are being funneled in from states with more permissive gun laws. There’s always something.
It’s never because gun control is a bad idea.
In fact, based on what we keep hearing from most American gun control advocates, the problem with guns in so many cities with strict gun control measures is because there are states that aren’t as strict. In fact, you’d think listening to them that if they were an island or something, criminals simply wouldn’t be able to get guns.
Luckily, we can test this.
You see, Hawaii has pretty much every measure a gun control advocate could reasonably want. It’s also an island, which means no one comes in from another state without having to pass through some kind of security that generally isn’t going to allow guns to come through. They’re as isolated as you can get.
And yet, this happens:
Prosecutors charged Loran Gross of Mountain View with 22 offenses after a massive bust at his home last week Friday.
Detectives found over 27 pounds of dried marijuana, more than 230 live marijuana plants, 14 rifles, and more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition in his possession.
Police also found a semi-automatic hand gun, along with drug paraphernalia.
Now, Gross has 10 prior felony convictions, meaning there’s no way he purchased those 14 rifles and the one semi-automatic handgun lawfully. He just couldn’t.
