I'm confused.

I gave up expecting sanity, or even common sense some decades ago when the "Reduction of Paperwork" act required me to fill out two MORE pages of paperwork.

The root cause, as I see it, is that each little subsection of the bureaucracy is its own little kingdom, constantly "at war" to defend its borders (and their jobs) from encroachment by other sections of the govt, and constantly seeking to expand its "borders" (authority) is the recognized way to do that.
 
Maybe the root cause was gang violence which was precipitated by great profits due to alcohol prohibition and readily available and inexpensive automatic weapons... leading to what at that time was a horrific gangland massacre in Chicago.

Then again, the assassination of President Kennedy on live television By a shooter that Legally bought his rifle with no paperwork through a mail order catalog also brought Some changes.

Things happen for reason. It’s not physics, but history and social science matter too.

The 1921 price for a Colt Thompson 1921 submachine gun was $200. Hardly cheap by the standard of the day. The Ford Model T cost $300!

And the 1929 St Valentine's Day Massacre killed 7 people. In one shooting. Shocking for the day, but sadly not today, especially in Chicago. :rolleyes:
