Mike,

I'm not saying nothing should be done. Safety improvements are a good idea, just as we have nearly made house fires a statistical outlier, but we still maintain fire departments to respond to the fires that do occur. Similarly with airline safety. Craft measures that actually work to improve the outcome. So far I've heard proposals that are more "feel good" in nature, but under objective review don't appear to change future outcomes. SkyGuy's remark about banning future sales of all assault style weapons is one. The proposers apparently assume that will somehow affect future outcomes without thinking through of how it will or how it won't, and why.

Another suggestion is to have an armed guard at every school. This is probably flat out silly. These school shooters are meticulous planners, and the first part of a future plan would include first taking out the guard before commencing with the rest of the shooting plan.

If there is a gun regulation that would actually achieve the desired outcome, no one has suggested it yet that I am aware of.
