ASSOCIATED PRESSAs the U.S. deals with yet another mass shooting, the response to this tragedy is predictably frustrating. Liberals are calling for the an increase in gun laws and gun advocates are trotting out the typical talking points, while pretending we are on the precipice of a full repeal of the second amendment. While this might be true, it should be noted that drug laws don't stop people from getting illegal drugs. The fact that we can't prevent all gun deaths with a single piece of legislation isn't a viable rationalization for doing nothing. Imagine if the Republicans that support these laws had applied gun advocate logic to these other problem areas.
