Obama says that if Congress had moved on certain actions after the shootings in Newtown, Conn. in December 2013, “We might still have some more Americans with us. We might have stopped one shooter. Some families might still be whole. We all might have to attend fewer funerals. We should be strong enough to acknowledge this.”

And if we legalized drugs and automatic weapons, we might save even more lives.  Or more might die.  Supposition of outcomes makes for terrible public policy.

And let us not forget that if we banned free speech, we might save a lot of lives, too, including perhaps all the lives in the Charleston shooting, since this was mostly about pushing, and enacting, a racist ideology. G+
