Gun control is the complementary and alternative medicine of public health policy. It is homeopathy and acupuncture and chelation, and what little positive benefit we see from it is more wishful thinking of the placebo effect than actual results. It never fails to astound me how so many educated, intelligent people who purport to believe in evidence-based medicine can still swallow this snake oil from the hucksters and carnival barkers who peddle it.

This has got to be one of the best metaphors I have seen for gun control in a very long time. Thanks Kelly, you just gave us a way to talk with the skeptical community in terms that they understand!
