There's no way there's going to be any major laws regarding gun control passed. If 20 dead six- and seven-year-olds couldn't do it, nothing can.

The percentage of the population who own guns is declining, but the number of guns per person who owns them is going up. Gun manufacturers depend on scaring people into buying multiple guns because they aren't having much luck convincing new owners to purchase.

I wish more attention was paid to the everyday accidental shootings, especially of kids, because a lot of gun owners are incredibly irresponsible about the care of their guns. I have a few friends who are gun owners, which is fine, but I won't be taking my preschooler to visit them, because I don't trust them to have their firearms properly stored. One of them has a father (she lives with her parents) who takes great pleasure in sneaking a gun into Disney World whenever they visit, which is often. He's someone who blames affirmative action for why he never got to be a police officer. I think it was actually that the police departments he applied to could smell the crazy.
