How We Think and Gun Violence Legislation

.
One of the things we often do in a chess game, and I presume other things, is seize upon an idea and continue with it even when conditions have changed and we should reassess things.

I think something similar has often happened in the political world and it caused great frustration. When you have the English and Irish at loggerheads for hundreds of years there's a lack of creativity to find a peaceful solution. The same seems to exist in the Middle East where Israel is usually at a stand-off with its neighbors.

Recently, here in America, there has been far too much gun violence and the discussion about how to solve it has involved expansion of the background checks for gun purchases. Well, I continue to see news stories about children killing one another and eventually the sheer numbers of these hit me on the head like a 2" x 4" -- it's kids who don't know the dangers, not just the mentally challenged or criminals using guns.

The reassessment leads quickly to an obvious call for the required use of gun locks to prevent kids from playing bang bang.
