US going into a big bout of national soul-searching about gun control, only for them to do precisely fück all about it all over again? That promises to be tedious.

It's about time they accepted that it is no longer possible for them to do anything about it. There are simply too many guns out there for the tide to be turned back now. Of course they'd be better off in a society like ours where guns simply aren't an option for private citizens, but they're about 200 years late to do anything about that now.
