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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
