How many people forget this??????

4. The best course of action is not all or nothing.

I agree that massacres by lone nuts cannot be totally prevented, but the gun control issue is much broader than that. I live in Chicagoland, and many of the guns used to commit crimes in "Chi-raq" come across the Indiana border from straw buyers at gun shows. Reducing the sheer proliferation made possible by lax laws will save lives.

But the reason for my post was not to debate the very complicated, difficult, contentious issue of gun control.

It was mostly to point out that sometimes when really bad things happen in this country, virtually nothing is done.

Too often, the American people are manipulated into fearing things that are very low on the list of actual threats to us personally.
