86. Gun conrol laws do work
Sometimes. Of course, deterring people that have no regard for the consequences of their actions, or indeed, their own lives, is exceedingly difficult.

But enacting "moral panic" laws to try to prevent this kind of thing is silly. Remember how well that worked out after 9/11?

For every person killed on a school campus by a deranged nut, thousands are killed in everyday killings over love, lust, drugs, alcohol, and other stupid reasons.
