I hate the trite response, "We must do whatever it takes to make sure this kind of thing happens again."
These things are going to happen again, as they have happened throughout history. We can, however, do many things to try to minimize the number of incidents like this.
Unfortunately for the paranoid gun rights lobby, some form of gun control is a necessary but not sufficient part of the answer to this issue.
- csense 14y agoI don't see how being in favor of the Constitutionally protected right to bear arms automatically makes someone "paranoid." I hope you're wrong about gun control being a necessary part of the answer to this issue, because as far as I can tell, it's simply not a practical possibility in the USA.

- jeffdavis 14y agoDid you properly fill out your government-mandated speaking request form 18764(a), and sign it under penalty of perjury, before submitting that comment? Of course, your speech isn't banned. These forms are just necessary to make sure we know who you are before you speak, and to force you to testify that you haven't committed other unrelated crimes. The only time we actually would ban your speech is if you fill out the form improperly, because that's a felony, and felons don't get to speak. So read it carefully.
