To make matters worse, it has been tried before with negative results. That is, violent crime increased after passage of similar bills. Just as it has after passage of each of the other 22,309 restrictive gun laws that are already on the books. So Payne not only wants to put an unconstitutional ordinance in effect, she wants an ordinance that will result in MORE violent crime instead of less. Of course, from her viewpoint, "It does not matter how many time's it has failed, it will work this time." That is what Joe Tydings said about the Gun Control Act of 1968. And that fatal legislation has already cost the lives of over a half million innocent Americans.
