Even if seriously flawed, politics is the chosen method for making determinations about what is in the public interest. The public interest is properly invoked when an individual has available to him weapons that allow him to murder dozens of people in a very short time. It is the responsibility of public officials to determine the appropriate response to this set of dangerous circumstances. I am enough of a realist to doubt that they will accept that responsibility, but there is no shame in making demands on them to do so.
