WDFW and Hankster have illustrated my point. WDFW wants more guns, the only problem with that is that the more guns will be in the hands of law abiding citizens who got their guns legally and are one bad day away from becoming a mass murderer. Hank, people do something because doing nothing means that more people will die and that is not acceptable to the majority of the population.

How will you come to grips with this? If you do nothing, it sends the message that the right to keep and bear arms is more important than people dying from gun violence. You may not want to face this fact, but the majority of people find that to be a ridiculous position. So, they do something, not effective, but something. Eventually they will get to the point where they say "The 2nd Amendment needs to be modified or eliminated". If you can't see this arc, you aren't paying attention.
