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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
