One is favored by both sides of the aisle and has already been passed. There are yet more measures that are favored by a vast majority of the population and have data to support their effectiveness. We should start with the low hanging fruit before we start climbing the tree.

    Apparently so since we are currently focusing on laws that won't pass when we could instead be focusing on the ones that will be easy to pass.

    If you want to eat now then reach for the low hanging fruit. If you want to proceed to see people getting shot with no changes, then pursue a law that will get held up in the house for months or years before most likely not passing. No single one of these laws will fix the problem, but a collection of them will, there's a long road ahead for gun control advocates and they need to atleast start building momentum
