Gun Control Cannot Work in Today's U.S.

Robert N. Driscoll, a native of the Boston area, currently practices law in Washington, D.C. He writes a column for the NewBostonPost about the realistic chances of gun control, as advocated by our President and others of similar kidney. Of his views, he writes:

The views expressed in this column are his own and not those of his firm. Nor are they the views of his wife, daughters, or greyhounds.

Right away you gotta like this dude's snarky attitude. On the subject of gun control, however, he is deadly serious in describing why it is vanishingly unlikely in our nation.

His is the best thoughtful look at gun access I have seen. Driscoll considers all mentioned options and finds each wanting in crippling ways. He is particularly convincing about why we cannot keep guns out of the hands of those with mental illnesses, a solution I have suggested but now consider suspect.
