We already have enough laws on the books. Another law passed from a knee jerk reaction will not solve anything. In fact, just the possibility of another being passed has caused a flood of the very fire arms and high capacity magazines in question to be purchased. The suppliers can't keep up with the demand.
The problem won't be an easy one to solve, but passing more laws won't be the answer. The only consistent winners in court are the lawyers.
Why do the 1st Amendment rights of Hollywood filmmakers/producers carry more water than that of all other non-politicized Americans?
Where is the sanity in that exercise of power?
Gotta wonder if actors that have been convicted of a felony ..or.. had/have serious mental health issues are allowed to 'act' with firearms capable of firing real ammunition, and if so, why?
