mass murders are a lot more common here than in countries with effective gun control

There's Krugman in a nutshell. Effective gun control would prevent mass murders. And what would effective gun control be? Why, gun conrol that prevents mass murders, obviously. It's called a tautology, Paul.

Krugman is great at calling for effective policies and programs to do this, that, or the other - when they don't work out, it's not because he was wrong, it's because they weren't implemented correctly. Had they been implemented correctly, they would have been effective - after all, effective programs are by definition effective.
