Astronauts and cosmonauts are faster than speeding bullets.
How does relative speed show that the unstated policy plan(s) of "Everytown for Gun Safety" will do anything meaningful about gun violence?
Locally we have had home invasion murders by intruders using hammer, knives, and baseball bat. I guess because the means was not a gun, that would of no interest to the "gun safety" crusaders. Too bad, because criminal violence--including the recent school stabbing rampage--tends to have similar things in common regardless of the weapon used.
I think the "Everytown" faction is simply obsessed with guns. We have had useless and harmful moral panicks and crusades in the past: demon rum, reefer madness, red scares, seduction of the innocents by comic books, mail order guns, Satanic Ritual Abuse in YOUR daycare center, all with the message "Be afraid, be very afraid, but Big Brother will save you, just surrender and trust." I see this as more of the same. Odd that there is a sudden media interest in stories about the Salem Witch scare at the same time.
