Jason Linkins has written a piece for the Huffington Post about the members of congress who've come up with ideas for legislation designed to prevent what happened in Tucson from ever happening again.
The problem all these ideas have in common, he points out, is that nobody has yet been able to get a handle on what actually caused the events. Instead, every proposal has been -- though well-intentioned -- reactionary, and not feasible in the long term. As he puts it, "a slow and thoughtful process that goes nowhere is infinitely preferable to rushing to pass the first crazy law that you barfed out of your brainpan while stewing in a broth of worry, adrenaline, and panic."
He lists each representative's proposed piece of legislation and makes strong cases for why they are either unenforceable, won't actually create change, or both. We've condensed the list here, so you can see who they are and what they're suggesting:
