Gun Violence Continues,,, Nobody wants to upset the NRA

There are serious, unanswered questions related to how the 12-year-old shooter in suburban Reno so easily got the gun that he used to kill on a school day.
I’ve spoken to law enforcement officials who balk at supporting gun bans, but who could see supporting laws that forced people to be far more responsible in how they stored their guns.
What about mandating that if you’re going to buy a gun, you have to buy a gun safe to store it? What about stiffer laws to punish parents whose children used family guns to kill – if law enforcement determined they were negligent in storing their weapons?
This conversation never happens. Compromise and responsibility are drowned out by calls to ban pitchforks or rakes instead.
