Nnnooo, it’s still a failure of the cops. The law, as it is, is a good law. The problem here, again, is that the cops didn’t do their jobs.
Edit: Sometimes a law is poorly written so law enforcement can’t do what’s necessary to enforce it or the law doesn’t really address a problem. That’s not what happened here; the cops simply chose not to enforce the law, and that’s entirely on them.
That doesn’t make much sense. That’s not how many laws are enforced. What do you even mean by “initiative”? Weird how they could stop my friend on the street, shove their hands in his pockets to search him for “drugs” (cannabis) and give him a ticket for loitering but when some guy tells someone he wants to shoot up a military base, no problem.
Or they can pull us over repeatedly as teens and say “where are you going tonight? Any drugs in the car? Can I search your car?” Those were failed laws but not due to “initiative”.
No, that would be failed enforcement.

All laws depend on cops to take initiative. That’s why they are called “Law Enforcement” lmao.

No, it’s not a good law. Red flag laws are bad enough. Maine’s law is a joke

If cops are ineffective, then who enforces the law, fucknut?

If you ban the sales, cops don’t have to hunt down individuals
There are already more guns than people in the US.
“It’s too late to try, let’s give up on everything!!”
Great take bud
Your positions are somewhat unclear, but I think we basically agree.
That’s how laws work
You think police forces should rule with an iron fist, you say?
Yes, that’s exactly what I said /s
Ban assault weapons
