>>The best laws in the world are meaningless if the government doesn't enforce them. (Barack Obama and our current immigration mess is a great example of that. )
So what is the solution to these recurring shootings? Adopting laws and/or enforcement techniques from other places that don"t seem to have such an issue?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
