>> The parties need to start with a clean sheet of paper. The methodology builds from there. I think that what we have been discussing illustrates why proposals are deadly. I think you're fair in asking the question and it is an important question: What is the downside; I gave you the best response I could. But it also seems to me that a clean sheet of paper involves looking at other ideas that don't require changes to the law that are highly improbable, and that appear on the surface more likely to be effective. The problem of getting rid of guns is a huge undertaking that at best would take decades and even then would be only partially successful. In the meanwhile, the killings continue. What has been inappropriately dubbed the "TSA" approach -- basic security measures hardening the targets, is a proven effective measure and while expensive, could easily be done by cutting waste from the education budget. It WILL save lives. I don't know why you wouldn't consider that as an effective alternative.
