I'm new to the States and all these dances around gun control make me understand that there are idiots in US politics as well as in Russian. Ok, there is no politics in Russia but anyway :)
The stories when the bill introduced in NY to decrease the size of the magazines from 10 to 7 rounds and explanation is mass shootings in schools... WHAT?! 8-0 The real explanation is the same as I saw many times in Russia: We did something loud. It does not and even can not have any effect on the problem in question. But this is a simple thing to do and we will shout everywhere that it does help. And some people will believe.
One of the effects of Santa Barbara shooting is the new bill proposed in California (less then a week from shooting) proposing a right for courts and polices to search and confiscate your guns if someone will tell the police that you're thinking about something bad. It's even better then Minority report! :)
One important thing to remember is that all the gun control laws are affecting only law-abiding people. They do not have any effect on criminals.
