Considering the source, I thought this was an interesting editorial on effective measures on curbing gun violence (and it's not what most people think): https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/i-used-to-think-gun-control-was-the-answer-my-research-told-me-otherwise/2017/10/03/d33edca6-a851-11e7-92d1-58c702d2d975_story.html
I don't think any of this would change what happened in Vegas. But there's far more small groups of deaths (just as there are rarely vehicle accidents involving large numbers of people). Those might be preventable without stomping on anyone's rights.

The Vegas assault would be near impossible to defend against. I try to be defensively prepared in a public assault but attacks like Vegas and suicide bombers are beyond what I could reasonably prepare for. Still the best deterrent to murders is an armed population. They are simply gonna choose soft targets wherever they can find them. The more I hear about this guy the less he seems to fit the profile of what he is suppose to have done. There has to be a controller or some outside force for this to make any since. They said today that he killed himself. I thought so...........that leaves the likelihood of a handler to be more probable. I suspect this will be one that the truth never comes out. Smells to much like a in house directive. |
