      I refuse to believe that it is beyond us to regulate access to weapons that can enable a madman to shoot 500+ people in cold blood.

      We regulate the ability to obtain bombs, biologic agents, or chemicals that can cause mass casualties. We can do the same for guns.

          Dr Gawande, since you are a research scientist, I challenge you to read John Lotts data driven books on guns such as “More guns, less crime”

          And we expect better data evaluation from you, Dr Galloway, rather than a scientist who picks data that supports your preferred conclusion.

          Actually John Lotts data is excellent. Have you read his books? If not kinda hard to comment on quality don’t you think?

          And yet we have more crime, more suicide, and more murder and mass murder, than any Western nation with gun control. Odd?

          That point was brought up! More guns wouldn't have done any good! What would you be shooting at a concrete building! For crying out loud! 😪

          I remember when people used to smoke in restaurants, schools, doctors' offices. Big Tobacco fought regs with money & power, but here we are.

          The fully automatic weapons used in the attacks are already regulated since the great depression.

          Exactly, @Atul_Gawande is claiming there are little regulation. But in fact lot already exist. Not very easy to get full auto rifles.

          We regulate the ability to drive a car for road safety, food ingredients and handling for public health. This is a public health crisis.

          We can regulate the access to bombs because there is no "Nat'l. Bomb Association." Thankfully. NRA & its influence = a disgrace.
