the problem with liberal gun laws is that when someone is fed up and frustrated and not thinking clearly *AND* they have a gun, it's way worse than if they were just fed up and frustrated.
There's nothing new in that argument, but it tends to fall flat, not the least as the same framing can be applied to just about anything.
We generally accept that obvious problem as we look to balance the pros and cons of top down management of behavior in society.
