But will these new laws ABSOLUTELY PREVENT a Newtown from happening in the future? If they cannot answer YES, then it is all useless legislation.
Are the legislators willing to make themselves PERSONALLY LIABLE if their new gun law fails to prevent such killings in the future?
“Are the legislators willing to make themselves PERSONALLY LIABLE if their new gun law fails to prevent such killings in the future?”
Nope. The opposite is at work. Incrementalism. When these laws fail to prevent the next “Newtown”, they will get to work on even more restrictive laws, claiming the previous law “didn’t go far enough.” Like they did with Obamacare, liberals take baby steps towards their ultimate goal of full socialism, and their horizon is multi-generational. They create restrictive laws that are built to fail, with failure further justification for increased restrictions. Patient calculation is one of their greatest strengths. We’re up against pure evil.
