Mr. Parker said, "It can't be that hard..." to keep guns away from crazy people. Our ability to identify crazy people and track their movements is almost non-existent. Before the Reagan era, we could at least put crazy people with violent tendencies into a mental health facility for a few days of observation. If they appeared immediately or continually dangerous, we had places to lock them down for a while. Now they just wander the streets, panhandling for money to pay their NRA dues. (OK, let's see how much sputtering outrage I get for that joke.)
