So, shouldn't the same standard of data collection and interpretation (skeptical eye as you call it) hold true if attempting to add another gun law or ban altogether? Sounds like you are all for throwing [BLEEP] against the wall and just seeing what happens, not understanding once you give an inch of freedom in hopes of additional safety through government control, you will not get it back.

That's not true.
Our ancestors gave up their right to drink alcohol, hopefully to get more safety, more productivity, and better health.
They didn't like how that deal was working out, so they undid it.
We could do the same... unless you think amending the constitution is too hard...

Oh my deity, you've finally made a micro amount of sense! If this gun thing is really that bad then amend the damn Constitution. Enough with this inch by inch crap, just open it up to the States to change it, we have a built in process to do so. Then you'll see just how much the American People are going to tell you to [BLEEP] off with this nonsense.

Kind of funny (ironic) how that is the same thought process with each and every "gun control" measure for each an every emotional reaction to highly publicized shooting. Not every mass shooting, just the ones that meet an agenda.

Not that type of gun, this one. Not that magazine type, this one. Not that bullet type, this one. Rinse and repeat until there is precedence to ban everything. And Yes, staying true to the 2nd Amendment you have the right to access for that type of weaponery.

So because people are emotional after innocent lives are taken, we can’t use that to try and better this country?

You think the gun laws are perfect the way they are now? 

I’m not saying I know the answer here but I don’t think anyone knows. it seems to me that what we have now isn’t working. The wrong people are getting a hold of some serious ammunition. 

I would also take my chances against a man with a knife than a man with a gun.

Gun laws exist, therefore they aren't perfect. Once they are gone then they will be.
