But I can't agree that classifying and banning certain types of weapons won't have a positive impact on gun violence. I also think it's possible to distinguish between consumer-use guns and military-style armaments, and put rational limits on the latter without compromising the Republic.

In the past, you've made the point that Liberals tend to want to discuss abstractions and theory, while being hesitant to take concrete steps to address a problem.    I'll be happy to discuss the cultural issues, but I keep thinking we need to do something about this & stop chasing our theoretical tails.

So, what can we do about gun violence if we don't address gun control?   The other ideas I am hearing have to do with arming teachers, increasing concealed carry permits, increased spending on security in every school from kindergarten to college, enhanced back ground checks, legislating a curb on violent video games and a national registry of mental illness.   Is that all we can come up with?

I hope not.
