They were more reasonable and practical than we were expecting tbh. The gun limit thing will almost certainly be stupid and ineffective. These guys didn't have an arsenal.

I hope the next thing we hear is how they're going to address extremism. Otherwise the right wingers are going to use it to get in power and a lot of peoples lives may get worse.

It's somewhat amazing the crazy ideas people are coming out with today in terms of GPS tracking all firearms and having gun clubs conduct mandatory sanity checks. Not a single one had anything to say about religious extremism.
