The falacy here is the classic "perfect is the enemy of good."
Banning assault rifles and handguns could go a long way to reducing availability. And if that decreases the number of these events by as much as people think it could, it's probably worthwhile.
Just because somebody who's super dedicated to the cause and works day in and day out to get the equipment to carry out a shooting could probably make it happen doesn't mean limiting access won't greatly reduce the number.
- AndrewKemendo 11y agoThis is a good point, but I think underestimates the pathos around American gun ownership. That is to say, I don't think that banning those things would result in a reduction in availability.
