I think that this approach could be used to limit the number of mass shootings. What is the bigger issue that we need to focus on? 9/11 was a different ball of wax all together and equating the two types of killings is like comparing apples and hammers.
So in the other thread we learned that we can't compare the school shooting to kids being killed by car accidents. Even when the driver is impaired.
Now we learn that we can't compare a mass shooting to a terrorist act.
OK. So we can't compare this to anything else ever.
As outlandish as that is, that's fine.
Because the point wasn't to compare the apple to the hammer.
It's to highlight the fact that people with mental deficiencies and an urge to kill will find a way.
It's always good to discuss and debate an issue with two obvious sides.
I keep hearing about "common sense" regulations.
I ask you: who in DC has common sense?
