I know there's not much reason to weigh in on this stuff- because minds rarely change. But what you hear from the shriekers, as you call them aptly, is all about the exceptions and the abuses- and we can't legislate that way. Just because some people will abuse SNAP, that's no reason to take food away from legitimately hungry children. I have the same problem with weird responses to terrorism or mass shootings. Do stuff that makes sense for everyone. Don't put guns in schools for teachers- find a way to make ALL places more safe. Don't be stupidly reactive- make good decisions for everyone, without a knee jerk to the rare occurence.

But that's rarely done.
