When a proposed solution doesn't actually solve the problem, and it wouldn't solve the problem of ANY of *big* events of the last few years, either because these types of weapons weren't involved, or they weren't on the no-fly list, then it is not a solution, it is rotten theater."
Yes. This. It's applicable to several very similar issues, and that's all I'm going to say about *that*.
