It struck me hard enough to break my on topic rule because I lived there

tinged with this.

It's interesting to contemplate what the government's reaction would have
been if a muslim fundementalist had done this. Another roll back in civil
liberties is necessary to protect Americans. The amount of shampoo
permitted in carry on airline luggage will need to be further reduced. Only
Republicans can protect Americans from this kind of carnage. Etc, etc.

Instead, there will just be purring agreement from the White House with
National Rifle Association statements due any moment now to the effect that,
if every student had been issued a gun upon admission, nothing like this
could have happened.


Here, here. Thank you.
