# Jonathan The point is that simply making a law doesn't mean that...

*June 10, 2022 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Jonathan Boutelle's comment.*

Jonathan The point is that simply making a law doesn't mean that criminals obey the law.  You think someone willing to murder a bunch of kindergarteners is going to dissuaded by a gun ban? And, more importantly, what about about the right of self defense of the tens of millions of 18-23 year olds who aren't psychopaths?   Police have no obligation to defend the citizenry, and can't possibly be everywhere they are needed, even if they did.
