Let's say that the tragedy is someone running over multiple folks with a red Ford SUV that Ford has specifically designed to run over multiple people with, and be as lethal as when running over people. Moreover, Ford makes a lot of money selling accessories for the SUV that allows you to run over even more people with it, in as short of time as possible. Ford also spends massive amounts of money on campaigns and lobbying to block any red flag laws that would allow families and the police to petition the courts to have the SUV taken from people that are deemed a danger to themselves or others.
In that case, how long after such a tragedy would it be appropriate to discus policy options to prevent another tragedies from occurring?
OK, but lets say that folks are calling the red Ford SUV a ”SUV style” truck because, to the uneducated, all scary looking vehicles are similar enough in their capabilities to ban them all.
