(6,268 posts)What sort of law do you expect would allow the cops to actually (physically) prevent people from breaking gun laws?
Hypothetical: Are cops able to physically stop you from giving your husband (who has a suspended license with too many DUIs) the keys to your car because he wants to go to the sports bar and watch some playoff games? How will they know until it's too late and he's either arrested or gotten in an accident again? Are Cops able to physically stop you from giving any schedule II prescription narcotic painkillers to somebody not allowed to possess them? How can they know if you do?
Newsflash: For the most part, cops can't stop crime. They only show up to take statements, clean up the mess, and maybe find the guy who did it. At the end of the day, you are responsible for your own safety and you are responsible for abiding by the laws.
