But maybe doing something can happen in a measure that could start at least cutting the odds of mass shootings here. The sponsors of the bill – which would improve background-checks for gun sales compiled by the National Instant Criminal Background Check system – are Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and John Cornyn (R.-Texas); co-sponsors include Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.).

As usual, no provision for commenting.
"But maybe doing something can happen in a measure that could start at least cutting the odds of mass shootings here."
The operative word being "could", which indicates that the author know that there is no empirical proof that it would do so.
In fact, no less an anti-gun tyrant than Diane Feinstein admits that gun control laws don't stop crimes.
And that, dear friends, underscores the real issue - the goal is not to address crimes, but to disarm the law-abiding American public, because the denizens of government believe that no one should have the ability to oppose government.
But isn't that precisely why the 2A was introduced and ratified? |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
