Should we ever get to a point where most of us feel we have the perfect mix-and-match of laws and societal attitude and medical/mental review, and we feel secure that nothing else can realistically be done to prevent mass shootings (iow, more laws would be redundant and a waste of time and resources), and another mass shooting does happen, then what?
Will there ever be a time... can there ever be a time... where we just clean up and move on, knowing we've done our best and that absolute zero incidents can never happen?
Or, does fear and human insecurities force us to always tweak even when said tweaking is pretty much useless?
The question is presented on the notion that absolute perfection in security is never possible. There's only so much that can be done. (And spare me the Ben Franklin quotes.)
