OK, Mr. Angry-and-Emotional, exactly what gun control laws do you want to pass that will make a difference? The problem is that those who are angry and emotional about passing more gun laws don’t know what new gun laws they want, and those laws they think they want will make no difference whatsoever in reducing so-called “gun violence” (like outlawing standard-capacity magazines, banning scary-looking guns, outlawing cosmetic gun accessories, etc.).
But, we must do something, right? So let’s just start passing gun laws and see if they work, right?
No. You come up with some gun laws that will actually make a difference, which also don’t overly punish the millions and millions of gun owners who don’t shoot people, then we can talk about it.
Until then, all you’re ever going to be is angry and emotional and you’ll get nothing to sooth your anger and pain. That’s sad, yes, and I feel bad about it, but we won’t let you pass feel-good laws that will do nothing to reach your goals.
