Вот статья в Вашингтон Пост, которая является по сути развернутым пересказом поста Якова; они и появились почти в одно время; отвечает очень разумно на ваш вопрос:
"My point is not that the Texas shooting itself makes the case for any particular set of background check improvements. It doesn’t, and again, seizing on isolated events isn’t how we should be debating policy. The Air Force’s review of its mistakes here is an appropriate response to this particular horror. Rather, my point is this: Either you believe, in a broad sense, that we should be trying to improve our background check system to make it harder for prohibited people to get guns, or you do not. The notion that this shooting shows that improving the system wouldn’t make any difference is utter nonsense."
