“Wait... don’t we already have a law against murder? So more laws will be more effective, huh?”
Politicians aren’t concerned about solving problems, just passing more laws that protect their (thank you Mel Brooks) phoney baloney jobs.
Look at me!
See what I did!
I solved the problem, until the next time anyway.
It is even worse than that.
They don’t WANT the problem solved. Being the Alinsky acolytes they are, they don’t want it solved, they want to prolong it, inflame it and make it worse.
All the better to achieve their ultimate goals, one of which is the total ban on private ownership of firearms.
