Jack, no disrespect intended but a caveat. Bismarck said "There are lies, damned lies and statistics." We need to question those. Who and where did they come from?
The outcry of "public immorality" has been part of the historical landscape since the Great Awakening. There are political pundits who will use this to furthur their ambitions. It's a red herring IMHO.
Do you want people to stop mass shootings? In my opinon, reign in the guns. It's too easy to get them here. Homocides are intentional. Some may use motor vehicles as a weapon but that's not what their built for. AKG's and "saturday night specials" are. This "self-defense" argument is a crock because it encourages lawlessness.
Did I tell you that I'm getting practice on my soapbox to run for president in the year 50002? I've got my acceptance speech all memorized. :)
