After the massacres in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, N.Y., I read with interest Republican Rep. Matthew Dowling’s predictable excuse for doing nothing to curtail the epidemic of mass shootings. He says there’s no sense in doing anything because “criminals do not abide by laws, and laws will not stop bad people.”

I've questioned Dowling myself as to how he can claim to be both pro-life and pro-gun (no restrictions, including unfettered concealed-carry). Neither he nor his office has ever answered my questions.
