Writing at The Message Box, Dan Pfeiffer thinks there is a path forward after continued deaths by guns. He thinks there must be a continued push to fix our laws because NBA coaches and potential governors are making waves post-tragedy.

He is wrong.

Nothing will ever change because people voice their concerns or take to the streets. Those in power ignore that momentary outrage because the news cycle is short and attention spans are shorter. Our current political system and media environment are broken. You cannot shame these people, and Dan certainly doesn’t need me to tell him that.

The only way anything will ever change is for people to wake up enough to vote for the politicians who will make those changes. Everything else is a waste of time.
