I find myself saying this in my head often. Ideas for gun control. They Don't Work. People are just sure that something - some "common-sense" gun control should work. And if by chance it does occur to them that their idea won't work, then they are sure someone else's similar idea will do it. Educational ideas, a new crop every September. Sometimes they even look like they work, until we try to scale them up. But let the subject come up, and the same ideas get floated repeatedly, just dressed in different clothes. Mental health. Poverty. Say those words over at Maggie's, or at Althouse, and you will sometimes get some better, or at least more original answers - but even there, usually not. Kids succeed if you have high expectations. If we didn't give tax breaks to billionaires, we could afford this. Other first world countries don't have this problem. Did you look under the seat cushions?
Nothing more to say. Mostly just whining, but also grateful for the people here. You're a smart group.
