No law could've prevented what happened in Las Vegas.

Via The National Review:

The impulse to act to stop the domestic massacres that have become a heartbreakingly metronomic feature of American life is laudable and understandable.

“It’s time,” as Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy said, giving voice to the sentiment, “for Congress to get off its a– and do something.”

The problem is that the “something,” namely all the usual gun-control proposals, isn’t well-suited to stopping mass shootings.

But liberal politicians never let the inapplicability of their proposals stop them.

The passion with which they advocate for new gun-control measures is inversely related to their prospective efficacy.
