I think this latest shooting is a tripping point and I think many state
legislators will start to do something. It will be slow but the
citizens demand it.

The weird thing is these killings represent about 0.9% of the gun
murders and 0.20% of gun deaths in the US but it is the only thing we
want to talk about. I suppose it is because these are white kids in
the suburbs and not black kids in the city.
I still say the only up side to keeping troubled kids away from guns
is they will be paying more attention in chemistry classes.

If gangs in cities want to blow each other's heads off ... go for it.

But when a nutcase goes into a school and kills 17 people,including
school kids in less than 7 minutes, or another nut case kills 20 people
including innocent 6 and 7 year olds, it's time to do something about it.
