Switch?
If you have to assume someone is a criminal before they commit a crime, then why not switch the whole legal system to "Guilty until proven Innocent"

Quoting Praxius
Ah, Praxius, it seems you are a Libertarian in the raw.....so to speak.
To you and Colpy:
Well I always kinda considdered the registry a load of crap from day one.... laws before that at the time seemed to make sense, but the registry I always considdered just a money scam.
towards Colpy:
if one can always obtain a firearm regardless of the laws restricting it, then yes, they don't make much sense.... but I'm also one of those fair deal sorta guys... which is why I brought up the drug situation. There's plenty of laws for that too, yet I can get anything I want at the touch of a phone call or visit..... they're pretty useless there too.
I just figure if the US is going to give the right to bear arms for obvious reasons then they should also drop the war on drugs because it's equally contradicting.
Same with Canada.... if we're talking about legalizing certain drugs, then guns would have to follow suit..... logically to me.

Well some other times I've also been called a Communist, Socialist, a Dictator wannabe, I find there's some good ideas in all the political styles out there, but none are actually perfect.... just depends on the topic in question... sorta like religion. Some have some good concepts, but then they screw it all up with rules and comandments etc. and start claiming they're the right way, when they're usually just as screwed up as the next in some way or another.
Damn complicated stuff.

When the assumption is made that an object can turn an otherwise law-abiding reasonable person into a criminal with homicide in their heart it's demeaning to every living breathing thinking human being. That criminal behavior is equated with gun-ownership or "access" to firearms is the cause of firearms related criminality, merely the existence of a firearm could surely have the same effect/influence.
People shouldn't fear their government governments should fear the people.
