I agree. Gun nuts will point out “you can’t stop them all” and that’s obviously true. But stopping 98% is a helluva lot better than stopping 0%.“Perfect is the enemy of good” is a silly talking point. We are talking about effectiveness, not perfection. I don’t think passing the buck to mental health professionals and law enforcement will do anything. Let’s start with banning AR and high velocity ammo, or as I said impose excise taxes and rationing on that ammo. Nobody has made effective proposals, all they do is pussyfoot around and yammer about “common sense” reforms.
We took the fight to Al-Qaeda to lessen attacks here. We install security alarms in our house and put a sign in our window to deter would be burglars. We should be enacting new laws that minimize these events. We shouldn’t be talking about perfection.
