Free will is both the greatest gift in the world and the most terrible. Human beings are savage creatures. Whether we use guns or sticks and stones, violence will never stop as long as we have free will. They will always be war. There will always be lust, greed, jealousy. Always.

That is a tragic number but the laws they are proposing would have stopped very few of those deaths

I like how you say 'something more concrete' to describe 'nothing new'

i guess in this case "more concrete" means "not just swept under the rug anymore"
