Notes -
Yes, many examples. And I think there's at least some degree of truth to these arguments:
There are hundreds of millions of guns in the US, so any large scale attempts at gun control cannot work.
The government cannot significantly tax or otherwise confiscate the wealth of the ultra-rich because they will just leave the jurisdiction.
Attempting to regulate carbon emissions at this point won't stop climate change, and many of the biggest carbon emitting countries won't get on board anyway.
It's not possible to introduce effective mass public transit in most US cities because they have already been designed around cars.
