New Slogan for Anti-Firearm Crowd: “Iron Pipeline”

The mainstream media might soon have a new phrase to use when it takes aim at guns. This is the so-called “iron pipeline,” which was discussed in a story from WWLP.com. The article points out that states with “weak” gun laws fuel the illegal gun trade. What is interesting is the spin that this article puts on the issue:

“It appears Massachusetts very strict gun laws have been successful in making it difficult but not impossible for criminals to get their hands on handguns.

“According to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives , states with strong gun laws fuel the so-called ‘iron Pipeline.’”

OK, there are two issues that this article doesn’t address. First, the anti-gun crowd says that strong gun laws could keep guns off the street. But this article says that Massachusetts has very strict laws, yet there is still an illicit gun trade! How can that be?

Well, the anti-gun crowd would take aim at this so-called “iron pipeline,” and say that it would be responsible for this trade. But again, this fails to point out that criminals in the liberal state of Massachusetts still want guns and they are getting guns. During prohibition illegal booze could be found in Boston, so why would a ban stop the flow of illegal guns to the state?
