Risk assessment fundamentally about probability and impact.

We took measures to get serious about drunk driving because it increased the probability of car accidents, especially at night,and was killing people.

On the flip side, we mandate tamper evident seals in medicine because the rare event of tampering hurt a small number of people, but undermined the citizens faith in the institutions they depend on.

The mass shooting issue is like the pill bottle problem. It’s a serious matter with an obvious solution. At the end of the day, it’s a problem unleashed by marketing — as hunting and shooting sport participation evaporated, gunmakers were left with a problem. Now we have batshit crazy people with political power, which is a genie that will be difficult to put back in the bottle.

> It’s a serious matter with an obvious solution.

This is a bold statement. Why do you think the solutions are obvious? Do you believe this is a subject without nuance?

No gun, no bullet, no shooting.

Look at the gun death rates in the northeast compared to the south.
