We have to enforce them, at the very least. It may not be true that our laws have to change to show significant decrease in gun crime and gun death.
Enforcing our laws, for however long it takes to do the work of changing them, where and if they need to be changed, is worth a shot. I think.
-and it’s not as if changing laws will help if we’re lax in their enforcement, anyway.
I think that a huge problem in this, is that with every new mass shooting, every new failed argument or proposal, every new instance of obstructionism....it becomes politically and pragmatically more unlikely (and more difficult or costly) to do either thing.
