Brooks Goes Dry on Guns

Classic David Brooks in his weekly online "debate" with colleague Gail Collins at NYT site.  He claims he supports many of the new proposed crackdowns on guns and ammo, then time after time explains that they won't work anyway, citing studies and whatnot.  Of course, as he knows, that undermines any effort to make progress. So he has our cake, and eats it, too.   Gail does push back a bit.
