It's a good essay. This is a good summary point about gun control: But what’s the point of such laws if we entrust enforcement of the ones we already have to dunces? 

My father worked in personnel with labor negotiation researching on the behalf of the taxpayer against the city's unions. He always had little good to say about what the taxpayer got for his money as far as police and firefighters were concerned.He basically felt they sold the bogus "hero" first responder thing for higher pay and benefits than like, sanitation or teachers, when they deserved about the same.

I usually try to err a bit of the side of giving them the benefit of the doubt precisely because I might have been too influenced by my father's prejudices. But this essay points out some damning things. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you. A couple mulligans are plenty when human lives are given in exchange.
