Yes, folks, there are STILL a couple of liberals in high places who believe that the way to control criminals is to make laws that restrict only the people who obey laws.
Or to be more precise: They want YOU to believe that.
No matter how many times this ridiculous pap is smacked down and refuted, it's just a matter of time before some liberal brings it up yet again, as though it hadn't been defeated dozens of times.
One definition of insanity, is the act of doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. White House Spokesthing Josh Earnest provides the latest example here.

Seriously: White House Suggests More Gun Control In Strict Baltimore After Bloody Memorial Day Weekend
Katie Pavlich | May 27, 2015
Over the long holiday weekend in Baltimore, 29 were shot and nine were killed. The violence came just weeks after violent riots and protests over the death of Freddie Grey, who died in police custody. Since the riots and since Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake threw city police officers under the bus, law enforcement has taken a step back from aggressive policing.
When asked about the violence yesterday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest suggested more gun control was one of the solutions.
“Obviously there’s some common sense things we could do – certainly passage of some gun safety laws in Congress that could keep guns out of the hands of criminals would be one thing that we could do to try to limit the violence,” Earnest said.
There's just a few problems with that suggestion. Maryland already has strict gun control laws. In fact, it was just two short years ago that new gun control measures were passed through despite overwhelming opposition.
Maryland's already-strong gun laws will become among the strictest in the nation with a measure passed by the General Assembly Thursday, sending the bill to the Democratic governor who proposed the legislation in the aftermath of December's massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.
The state Senate voted 28-19 for final passage, agreeing to a number of changes the House of Delegates approved Wednesday.
The measure would require people who buy a handgun to submit fingerprints to state police, bans 45 types of assault weapons, and limits gun magazines to 10 bullets.
Or to be more precise: They want YOU to believe that.
