Consensus is one thing, but without results, it won't fly. As has been pointed out in this thread, many of the things being called for would do nothing to stop this and many other tragedies....besides which that it would actually be taking away a fundamental Right in this nation. There would have to be some type of catastrophic incentive to take away my free speech, religion, press, etc.

Perhaps we could also wait for the bodies to get cold before politicizing a tragedy? *NM*

No. It's a willful failure of policy, just like the last thousands times. We fucking can't.

How much time is "enough time" exactly? Just until the next one so the clock can reset? *NM*

Oh and "also"? That comment was preemptively aimed at the very sentiment you were expressing. *NM*

If you want discussion how about making specific points or suggestions?

Stop attempting to prevent discourse because it offends your sensibilities.

Any number of the dozens of pieces of legislation that is proposed *every time* this happens

And yet, almost every time shootings happen, none of those measures would have done anything.
