Last year I wrote a post bemoaning the defeatist attitude of so many policymakers Defeatists Policies #NothingCanBeDone

The main topic was economics, but I also mentioned guns ...

And we also hear "nothing can be done" about the ongoing mass shooting in the U.S., even though most Americans support stricter background checks, longer waiting periods, and restricting certain types of weapons. Reagan supported gun control, but not this Congress. Something can be done - and will be done eventually. Hopefully "Before some ol' fool come around here, Wanna shoot either you or me".

Something can be done. And it SHOULD be done today.
