Agree with the premise of your question. Of course these issues are being addressed, at least at some [closed-door] level. Indeed, with this regime, one can surmise that the impetus for gun control and raising cain about recent massacres, along with EMP etc etc, is all part of the same thing: Transforming society, away from the Constitution (and A1/A2...).
Besides, the EMP problem is hugely expensive.
