Wherever you stand on them and federal firearms laws in principle, however, a simple fact is under-emphasized in this debate: Laws mean little if not enforced.

...Thus, if there must be federal gun-oriented intervention (which I’m against), it’s obvious what it should be:

Make localities’ and/or states’ receipt of federal funds contingent upon their adequate enforcement of violent-crime laws — in particular, gun laws.

There you have it. Are you listening, Mitch McConnell?

Tim adds:

It just like immigration laws; there are plenty of laws on the books that are not enforced. Then they tell us we need "comprehensive immigration reform" becuase the "laws aren't working". Well duh! No law works if it isn't enforced. How many people would stop at red lights if there was no chance of getting a ticket?

We have all the gun laws we need. What we need is enforcement of laws against using those guns in crimes.
