For drunk drivers, tougher laws against drunk driving have been enacted.
For bombers, tougher regulations for the purchasing of bomb making materials have been enatced.
For mass shootings....

This is factious. Rules about drunk driving are focused on being punitive only to those that have done it and got caught. We penalize the drunk driver, but don't go on to penalize the bartender or liquor store clerk .

OT, notice I didn't make the car argument but the booze one. Booze isn't necessary for life and does lead to a lot of damage done to people beyond the drinker. The difference is, the left likes to drink. It deosn't own guns. So guess want is focused on and how it's handled. Imagine the uproar if you had to produce a mental health card to buy booze (note: I work in the field with the developmentally disabled and one of the hardest things to do is keep them from drinking), or after too many incidents with young people the age limit was raised to 35. You wouldn't hear "buh buh but it's not banning, just trying to prevent harm being done".
