Tragedy is almost always a bad reason to make law. A toddler in Britain was struck and killed when some moron takes potshots at a fire crew with an airgun.

The guy was convicted of murder. But the toddler’s parents are now pushing for a nationwide ban on airguns.

Thanks to Jude Blanchette for the tip.
