Gun control

Only one thing has been shown to stop mass shootings. One thing. Not
two, not three. One thing: that is someone shooting back.

We should not have armed guards at schools, but it is stupid to pretend
that responsible individuals–and these are the people teaching our
kids, so one hopes they are responsible–are incapable of carrying and
protecting handguns.

Gun free zones do not stop criminals. They advertise that no one will be shooting back.

You can pontificate all you want, but if the goal is actually DOING
something, which is a refrain I see over and over, that is the most
OBVIOUS, simple, and cost effective thing to do.

I am likely driving my Facebook friends crazy, so I am going to start cross-posting here.  If I take the time to write something, I want to be sure it appears somewhere.  I wrote a five paragraph response to Michael Moore’s (could he be any uglier?) latest piece, but unsurprisingly it did not make it through moderation, despite consisting of nothing but careful and factually based reasoning from basic premises.
