Michael Benjamin on Gun Control


30,000 gun control laws do not make crime control

There are over 30,000 gun control laws on the books and gun violence is still a serious problem in America. Gun control is not crime control. I support genuine crime control through the enactment of laws to impose mandatory sentences for anyone convicted of having or using a firearm during the commission of a crime. I call for a review of federal gun control laws that only burden the law-abiding and waste law enforcement resources.
