While his proposals "seem" reasonable and common sense what struck me were the comments "we have to do something" and "this time it's different".  Both of those reflect emotional responses that actually skirt the real cause of these issues and propose solutions that will do nothing to address the problems and will only pave the way for leftists that will want more and more and more.....  And I am certain that nothing he proposes solves the problem. 

I appreciate his views on the 2nd amendment but it appears to me he fails to recognize the way the left works.  Give them an inch (a slice of bread as he put it) and they will try to take a mile (the whole loaf).....they will never stop until they strip the rights of law abiding Americans of their right to self defense.  And they will never acknowledge reality about what has happened to our culture and how we are reaping what they have sown.  And I always find it ironic being lectured about gun violence by people who make millions every year in movies filled with nothing but gun violence.  

So I guess I am back to my original post that the only reason he is given a forum is because he is a celebrity.  I can't find a way to embrace ideas that I know for certain will do nothing and will only pave the way for more of our rights to be taken.  Law abiding gun owners are not committing these crimes and having more laws, of which a large number of which are broken in the act of violence, will do nothing.  And when these fail (if enacted) the left will not address the real issues, they will simply want more and more restrictions.  Like the trillions they have thrown away with the war on poverty they will always propose more of what didn't work in the first place.
