    Great piece -- should be read by everyone who's post-tragedy response is simply to call for generic "gun control"https://twitter.com/leahlibresco/status/915294851255726083 …

    I was all for banning silencers, assault weapons, etc. until I researched gun deaths for @FiveThirtyEight http://wapo.st/2wvgMw3

        nothing in this "piece" is groundbreaking or even thought provoking. her "solutions" are just as generic and frankly simple common sense.

        Straw man. There is no such thing as "generic gun control." Other countries have successfully reduced deaths.

        Ban those and more. No one wants legal silencers except gun manufacturers and gun nuts

        The writer has the data on Australia wrong. Interesting piece nonetheless.

        Even if "gun control" would not work in one year, or in 10 years, would it work eventually if we began restricting supply now?

        I had a similar path of discovery. Gun control claims fell to pieces when I objectively looked at data.

        There's nothing "generic" about gun control. If you don't know how to talk specifics or only muddy the waters, then get out of the way.

        How about a call for anything? Any change in legislation that would make society safer from guns. Something!
