Actually I would prefer to hear your opinion on this. Necessitate is not the word I would choose. I think you mean "permit" correct?
J77 said:Sure, there would be many places a ban would not be enforced -- like there are many places were people do illegal things on a regular basis -- however, this doesn't mean that a ban should not be put in place. Which amongst other things would cut down on the availability of a deadly weapon from the highstreet.
Things are illegal because someone decided that they should be. If it harms no one in a particular locality to be doing something illegal then it is likely that it will be permitted. If it harmed no one in EVERY locality the law would not have been passed to make it illegal in the first place. Sorry, I'm not willing to accept the idea that I shouldn't own a gun since it could be stolen from me by some bad people and used to do some bad things. It's one of the things that make me who I am and most other people in the USA who they are.
