on guns, david brooks proposes a bridge to nowhere — with lots of safe spaces along the way for gun owners to feel unthreatened while the people who don’t like being shot dead apologize for antagonizing them by advocating for life-saving policies

If you want to stop school shootings, it’s not enough just to vent and march. It’s necessary to let people from Red America lead the way, and to show respect to gun owners at all points nyti.ms/2EG4Z2c

I think real problem is he dumbly attached a school shooting angle on top of a potentially interesting story about a group trying to address polarization. When in fact there already IS quite a lot of bipartisan support for gun regulation, even from gun owners/NRA members.

Let’s go back to well-regulated citizen militias, per the Constitution. Join, train, muster for drills and encampments. Then you qualify to own a military-grade weapon. No muster, no musket. The 2A was about states keeping militias instead of professional armies.
