Good to know, Pete. A little bit to add, then–
The vast majority of Americans, including me, support the right of an individual to own a gun. The second amendment isn't going anywhere, and no one is coming to take away anyone's guns anytime soon as long as they were legally obtained. That said, law enforcement, educators, and the public overall think that something, however small, should be done in order to try and make mass murders of schoolchildren less of a regular occurrence in our country. Sadly, I'm not optimistic that anything meaningful will happen at the federal level, as lawmakers (on both sides of the aisle) are far more concerned about losing their jobs than they are about preventing needless deaths. I'm sure people have heard about what Gabe Kapler is doing (on which I have no comment), but the quotes from other managers in this article about Kapler are notable: 1) "I think he's exactly right to be concerned ... with what's happening in our country... He's right there." -Tony La Russa 2) "I think we're all frustrated, especially in this country ... Nobody's happy" -Chris Woodward 3) "I do believe that we need to figure something that's better for everybody's lives because what we have now is not working at all." -Dave Martinez 4) "I don't think any of us are happy with what's going on in our country. " -Dave Roberts It seems the one thing most Americans do agree on these days is that our country is in bad shape and getting worse.
