Obama: If gun control saves one child, it’s worth it; Conservatives shred his logic

Tomorrow morning, President Obama is set to reveal his strategy to combat gun violence. We still don’t know exactly what sorts of measures Obama will propose, but at today’s briefing, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney reiterated the president’s commitment to taking “meaningful action” — for the children:
Carney says if even 1 child’s life can be saved by actions taken in Washington, we must take these actions.

Argh RT @markknoller: Carney says if even 1 child’s life can be saved by actions taken in Washington, we must take these actions.

If what Carney says is true, couldn’t — and shouldn’t — this logic be extended to, well, everything?
Given that we’re about to enact any law that would save one child’s life, expect Carney to announce abolition of the drone program today.
