How does the "GCA" stop an inanimate object from being an inanimate object?

More "law" doesn't stop or detercrime.
Onlyincreases litigation and makes more lawyers richer. (http://www.getphpbb.com/phpbb/images/smiles/a_doh.gif)

My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I
would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was
always around in my early years but less and less as time passed by.
Today I read his obituary. Please join me in a moment of silence in
remembrance, for Common Sense had served us all so well for so many
generations.

Obituary
Common Sense
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who
has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was
since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He
will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing
when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life
isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more
than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children
are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but
overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy
charged with s3xual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended
from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the
job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental
consent to administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster (band aid)
to a student, but could not inform the parents when a student became
pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense was losing the will to live as criminals received better
treatment than their victims and Common Sense took another beating
when people couldn't defend themselves from a burglar in
their own home and the burglar could sue for assault
in the event of a confrontation.
Common Sense finally gave up entirely after a woman failed to
realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in
her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge monetary settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his
wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He
is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to
Blame, and I'm a Victim.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

Just outlaw air, it is the only reasonable solution to the problem.

Anyone caught with air or using air should immediately be labled a treasonous homicidal terrorist traiter and summarily executed for obtaining, or dealing with such a hazardous compound.
{Keep in mind thatair is mainly an explosive gas [hydrogen] a critical oxidizing gas[oxygen] and a gas that kills all lifewith the slim exception ofa fewdeepwater seaworms [nitrogen] and is currently the major cause of all problems known to man}

Ban and outlawAIR so that everyone can be safe.(http://www.airgunhome.com/agforum/images/smiles/sinkingfast.gif)
We just creating 'new crimes' for them to be charged with? Did the '1934 GCA (http://www.atf.gov/pub/fire-explo_pub/nfa.htm)' stop the gangsters from killing each other? Or did it just restrict the law abiding to the point of being at the ??mercy?? of the lawless?

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -- James Madison

So the '1968 GCA (http://"http://www.atf.gov/pub/fire-explo_pub/gca.htm)' was passed and now who is it that becamesafer?

Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
~
So what doesthat mean anymore?Seems both GCA and1986 ban does exactly the 'infringed' that 'shall not be' according to that Amendment.
