- Editor’s note: The gun violence situation has required Congressional action mandating background checks and a waiting period to receive a weapon after purchase, at the very least.
The New York Times: “More guns mean more deaths. Republican members of Congress often claim otherwise. After the Boulder shootings, John Thune of South Dakota, the Senate’s second-ranking Republican, dismissed calls for restricting gun availability, saying, ‘There’s not a big appetite among our members to do things that would appear to be addressing it, but actually don’t do anything to fix the problem’” But there is overwhelming evidence that this country has a unique problem with gun violence, mostly because it has unique gun availability.”
