Yeah, I sort of figured that you would say something like that. Sure, it makes sense that we wouldn't just work on one thing and completely ignore the others. But that's exactly what most people who are fixated on the gun issue want to do. I keep getting the sense that it is more of a popular issue than actual caring. It's an easy issue to climb on top of Mount Moral with and take a selfie, every time we hear about a tragedy involving guns. It's harder to take that selfie with the other big people killing issues, because car accidents and drug overdoses are boring.
