But there ARE actions taken to prevent accidents. Anti-texting campaigns, DUI enforcement, street planning efforts, safer cars, signage and reflective material on roads. These things have undoubtedly saved some lives.

But when it comes to guns we just throw up ours hands and say whaddya gonna do.

There are actions taken to prevent mass shootings. Background checks, mandatory waiting periods, gun free zones, banning certain guns.

Stop acting like there are no laws about guns, as that's ridiculous. Funny how in Parkland and it seems even with the YouTube office the police were aware of threats these people posed and did nothing. Seems like there should be more scrutiny put on the police, instead of a push to rely on them to defend the public; something they aren't even legally obligated to do.

Now this I can get behind.

Car companies fought against seat belts.

hear, hear!
