   The way people try to explain gun control is that by putting restrictions   
   on gun access, they can keep criminals from obtaining them, while ordinary   
   people like you and me can, in time, access a firearm. At least, some   
   firearms.   
      
   It's a very naive way of looking at things, though.   
      
   We know that criminals aren't going into gun stores to buy their weapons.   
   They're not following any rules. They get them via illicit means, either   
   with a straw buy, a black market buy, a gun theft, or something darker.   
      
   Something like this case out of Milwaukee, for example.   
      
   Prosecutors argue in the criminal complaint that Charles Steward, Twitty-   
   Montgomery, Jamison, Jamison's twin brother and one other man were   
   traveling in a Chevy Traverse near 38th Street and Keefe Avenue.   
      
   Prosecutors believe Twitty-Montgomery, Charles Steward and Devrion Steward   
   hatched a fake scheme to “rob” a fictitious drug dealer; the real plan was   
   to steal Jamison's firearm.   
      
   Jamison's brother, who was not named in the complaint, told investigators   
   that once they arrived, three of the men -- Jamison, Twitty-Montgomery and   
   Charles Steward -- got out of the vehicle and went into an alley. All   
   three were armed.   
      
   The brother told police he heard "about 10-15" gunshots, according to the   
   complaint. Twitty-Montgomery and Charles Steward came running back to the   
   vehicle moments later.   
      
   Jamison had been shot multiple times and was left behind.   
      
   Jamison's brother told police he ran to his brother, used his sweater to   
   apply pressure to stop the bleeding then called 911 for help.   
      
   Jamison died. His gun, a Glock 26, was missing. A Glock 26 could cost $600   
   to $700 but could also be found much cheaper.   
      
   Now, none of these characters are shining examples of the citizenry by any   
   stretch of the imagination. After all, Jamison thought he was out to rob a   
   drug dealer. Not a fine, upstanding citizen.   
      
   Yet the rest of the party wanted his gun. They shot him and killed him so   
   they could take a Glock 26 from him. It's a common enough gun on its own,   
   so it's not like it was being stolen for some inherent value for a unique   
   firearm. They just wanted a gun, and Jamison had one.   
      
   So, he was allegedly killed just so other parties could get it.   
      
   We don't know if Jamison got the gun lawfully or not. I suspect not, but   
   can't confirm that. It doesn't really matter, because while this excuse to   
   get Jamison in the car was nefarious, it's not that hard to get someone in   
   a car with their gun with more benign requests. "Hey, I've got to go and   
   pick up some money from this guy for something I'm selling him, but he's   
   kind of shady. Can you come with me and bring your gun? I don't think   
   anything will happen, but I could use some security."   
      
   A lot of people wouldn't blink at such a request. A lot of people would,   
   thankfully, and I'm not likely to do something like that except for   
   family--my dad asked me to help him out one time and to carry because of   
   the situation--but some would, especially if they think the friend is on   
   the up-and-up.   
      
   And this is just one of many ways criminals will break the law--shocker!--   
   just to get a gun.   
      
   Gun control means nothing to them because it will never apply to them.   
      
   Just us.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
