>>The school shootings are a red herring, for both sides of the debate.

>How so?

About .5% of homicide in the U.S. in the last 30 years has been mass murder. Mass murder fluctuates, but never claims over 150 victims in a year.

The solutions seemed mostly aimed at that type of violence.

Meanwhile, no matter what you do, there are 300 million guns in the U.S..

The gun control ship has sailed. I'm sure that Obama's measures, if enacted, will save some lives. But it will likely be a small share of the lives taken by guns in this country.
