If this school board is merely asking for a more critical assessment of this issue, that's surely a good thing.

If Sarah Brady is merely asking for a more efficient procedure to prevent criminals and the insane from obtaining guns, that's surely a good thing.

If Kim Jong-Il is merely asking for a more effective defense of his nation, that's surely a good thing.

The problem is that all three of the above motives are equally implausible.
