Time yet to effect some gun control?

There's a story in the news getting lots of attention about a six-year-old who shot a teacher in school. SIX YEARS OLD. Of course that won't make any change in gun laws.

But maybe when enough politicians are targeted...
Local and state police are working with the FBI in Albuquerque, N.M., to investigate five shootings that have targeted Democratic politicians' homes or offices since in the past month.

Oh wait. Maybe not.
Bernalillo County Commissioner Adriann Barboa, whose home was the first to come under fire, told NPR on Friday that the attacks have been difficult to process, "especially knowing that other women of color elected officials have also been targeted."
It'll have to be white male politicians.
Authorities had planned to highlight the shootings on Thursday, after a state senator's home was fired at on Tuesday — and then came word of yet more gunfire with a political target, as bullets struck a second state senator's office Thursday morning.

[...]

In the attacks, multiple rounds have been fired into the doors and walls of buildings — in some cases while elected officials were inside with their families — but no one has been hurt.
Don't pay any attention to me.  I've become quite jaded.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:  I guess I have the answer to my question...
