Greetings, Ed. You are mistaking the singular for the general here. And it's always the singular that seems to get the focus, rather than the general which can be addressed by policy.
At a minimum, the assault weapon ban that expired, I think in 2004, thanks to the Reps, could be reinstated. At a minimum, more care could be taken with the sale of guns--background checks required, and so on.
Nothing, of course, "solves" gun violence. And replying as if that's the point of my post is to severely misstate the issue in such a way as to dismiss the wanton availability of guns today.
And it misses the fact that states are passing bills permitting folk to carry unconcealed weapons in public, that some legislatures are looking at legislation barring schools from banning guns on the property, save those in the hands of security folk. And so on and so on.
I'm more than a little surprised that your argument is that nothing can be done. That's the way the NRA wins these arguments, you know. Everyone gives up. |
