I figured it might be helpful to put this up to take some heat out of the USGD thread on today's awful mass shooting at the Texas elementary school.
To state the obvious, we have a mass shooting problem in this country. What do you think should be done about it? I'd love to hear about specific bills or other concrete policy proposals.
I'll refrain from stating my views in full here in the OP for fear of derailing. My stance on gun laws is driven by pessimism in the continuing viability of the American state project and a desire to protect myself and my loved ones from the armed right, a position which I have a feeling will be orthogonal to the discussion here.
Regulate guns and bring back assault weapons ban.
