When it happens, and it does happen, we just don't enforce our laws. Whatever preventative benefit those laws have to coerce better behavior among law abiding people ( the overwhelming majority of gun owners), better than our already good behavior all things considered, just isn't going to work until we do.
I get it, don't get me wrong. When a parent loses a kid we think "what could we do to them that's worse than that" - still. I know, they're bawling, it's the worst thing that could ever happen to them..and it's going to be a bad look...it certainly wont help anyone running for office....but we have to charge them with the crime(s) they committed.
Are you going to jail everyone who attempts suicide?
It' s against the law in most states and theoretically carries a jail sentence.
Some laws don' t get enforced because they' re outdated, unconstitutional or just dumb.
Sure, the books are stuffed with silly outdated shit, but unless CAP laws are in that set, it doesn't matter that the books are stuffed with silly outdated shit. So let's take a look.
CAP laws aren't outdated, most of them are younger than the members of this board.
CAP laws aren't even remotely unconstitutional, they don't infringe in any way on any personal right, and states have the authority to write and enforce them.
Guess that leaves, "just dumb". Since you offered the opinion, I'll leave it to you to make that case.
