As I said before, every single school shooter violated the federal law against carrying a gun onto school property; so that law did not "work." Some killers, like this one, passed their background check. Others evaded it, and some acquired theirs in other illegal but common ways, so that law doesn't "work," either. We had an "assault weapons ban" for ten years, and that did not "work." People determined to break the ultimate law against premeditated murder many times over are not going to be deterred by "sensible" gun control laws. Aren't they usually called "senseless killings"? You may as well try to hold back the tide, but that, too, has been tried. <a href="http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=baldwin&book=fifty&story=canute" rel="nofollow"> hold back the tide</a> That didn't work.<br /><br />Insist all you want that some new and more stringent law will, in addition to the many hundreds we already have, work some miracle on the one person in millions who should be deterred but will not be, without inconveniencing the other 89,999,998.jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193628934721963907.post-6053838673937782272018-02-27T17:50:04.279-06:002018-02-27T17:50:04.279-06:00What would applying Occam's Razor to this situ...What would applying Occam's Razor to this situation tell us?<br /><br />"Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected."<br /><br />MooseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193628934721963907.post-10119646609043226972018-02-27T17:25:13.246-06:002018-02-27T17:25:13.246-06:00oh absolutely.

The Democrats will manipulate the emotions of the public, aided by their media sycophants, for raw political advantage, while doing absolutely NOTHING to address the problem in any realistic fashion, if they address it at all. If history is any guide they prefer to have credit for good intentions while bashing the opposition for wanting to actually solve the problem in a rational Way. I daresay that Trump has already done more on this issue than Democrats have since 1990.<br /><br />Let us play "what if." What if Democrats succeed in letting emotions drive legislation and pass some of these strict anti-gun measures, and then there is another tragic school shooting?
