That argument is so inane it could be used to dismantle all laws and society itself. Putting him out of a job, which would surely be a good thing...

[Sssssss]

OK, then, so in light of gun control laws what about some policies that could reduce the stress that makes people feel desperate. You know like universal healthcare, living wage laws, affordable housing regulations… the citizens in your country are feeling desperate, and that seems to be the position that you’re coming from, so if not gun laws, what about some humanitarian laws?

He's right-Lies don't work. Mass shootings declined when assault weapons were banned. Neither do hopes and prayers. *_"No Way to Prevent This" says only nation where this regularly happens._*

"The laws don't work"
Rest of developed countries in the world: "Are you serious?"

Rep. Tim Burchett: "Until people change their hearts, we're not going to see a change."

😒 Look who's talking

[headreallyhurts]

‘Laws Don’t Work'; also: pass laws outlawing Trans people and Drag Shows 🙄

[cymtastique]

You heard it here first, people.
Lawmaker claims laws are pointless.

Who keeps electing these goofy people?

[SahrishRawra]

Laws don’t work. So he’s saying his job is pointless?
Also… laws don’t work. Except in every other country in the world.

[RiamsWorld]

You can tell how intelligent he is by his assuming someone needs a 3-d printer to print a book.

[cursedreverie]

Apples and oranges, dude. Apples and oranges. Yeah, someone can make a bomb but how often does that happen compared to mass shootings?

Because of problems in this country, you cannot easily bulk buy certain things. Take Sudafed for example. Meth is the reason for that. And that's a potato thrown into the apples and oranges, but merely used as an example.

[GGray.]

Laws don't work? Why are we paying you then?

[alexise]

This just show how stupid these politicians are. If “laws don’t work, ” I guess he needs no job

[jansean]

Then why have public shootings and gun violence increased 300 percent since the assault weapons ban was lifted?

[kathleenmccrory]

If McVeigh were still alive, he'd be the poster boy for MAGA.

[robharrisU]

😂😂😂😂DO AWAY WITH LAWS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can someone 3D print this guy a BRAIN 😅😅

[guymontag]

I love how law makers admit that they can’t stop the violence they inspire 😂

[Freckles]

He doesn’t even believe what he’s saying. He’s shaking his head “no” because he knows he’s wrong

[SeanPat]

As long as gun manufacturers give massive amounts of money to unscrupulous lawmakers, we won’t see any laws that actually work.

There! I fixed it for him.

[stevenruiz]

Wtf
Take this man’s power over others away. He is clearly reductive.

[vultureculture]

"Laws don't work" then stop trying to ban books, healthcare, and education.
