The word insanity in the middle of a sheet of paper is released from meaning.

Response to MSN’s How many more students and teachers must die before lawmakers act to stop gun violence?

Another passionate plea for “gun control” by someone who clearly desires safer communities. The latter is admirable, the former is sad. Why has this writer not written a piece advocating for prosecutors to actually hold criminals accountable? Why has this writer not written an expose on how jails and prisons are releasing criminals at record rates, and about how prosecutors are dropping charges–including countless gun charges–with no explanation other than they are “busy”?

As is often said, but never practiced: Enforce the laws currently on the books before creating new ones. Creating new laws simply makes more criminals. Not enforcing laws just makes more victims.
