and the political reality compels them to do something. So I don't blame Biden or any of the others. There's a line from an old Simpsons episode about the "never give up, never think things through" spirit of our people, always springs to my mind. The knee jerks, get out of the way or get kicked.
What it would take is, you want to buy a gun, the state sends actual human beings out to interview people you know, people you've worked with, etc. Even that wouldn't stop all mass shootings but it might stop some.
It's pure fantasy of course. The resources aren't there and Americans would resent the intrusion into their private lives even though they have no reservations about posting every detail of their private lives on Facebook.
We'd be much better served if we could find out why there are people who harbor enough rage to pick up a gun and kill a boatload of strangers. But that's hard, takes time, requires nuance, and the results won't be cut and dried/black and white. By the time enough data has been collected, the public will have moved on to the next crisis.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
