just because something isn't going to be 100% effective immediately doesn't mean that it's not a solution worth working towards, or that we should work towards something going the opposite way instead. jfc, this is the same kind of rhetoric that anti-vaxxers use because vaccines aren't 100% effective immediately so therefore we should all just eat horse paste instead.

If we'd stayed inside for three weeks, COVID would have died out. That's not the reality we face. The reality we must deal with is living in a world where other people are selfish and put their needs above those of others. You can't control them (except through force). You can really only react to what is rather than what should be.

If you want to avoid COVID, your best option is to get vaccinated, stay boosted, and avoid crowds -- especially in highly conservative locations. If you want to minimize gun violence, being prepared to intercept guns or people with guns is more rational than asking people who are willing to kill to willingly surrender their weapons.
