Jonathan Last gives three reasons why the gun problem in this country won’t be fixed:
- The Second Amendment, like it or not, provides cover that makes reforming gun laws difficult to do and then more difficult to legally sustain.
- Guns are more popular than you probably realize and our political system gives so much leverage to one particular political party that if this party holds a position with roughly 45 percent support in the populace, it’s basically impossible to pull back.
- Even if we reformed gun laws, the sheer number of guns in circulation would continue to contribute to tragedies and shootings for years—probably decades—to come.
“Nothing will change until the system is re-balanced, either through the passing of laws or the shifting of demographics.”
