This stuff is happening every week now, something has to give somewhere no?
If this doesn't bring an end to the gun control debate I'm not sure anything ever will.
The US gun homicide rate is 20x that of 22 other developed nations combined.
There have been 31 school shootings in the US since Columbine.. on the rest of the planet in that same time span? 14.

As long as the NRA holds sway over both our political parties, nothing will change. In the meantime, there will be a flood of pious mouthings, expressions of great sadness, useless prayers for the victims, etc. etc. Sorry to be cynical and heartless-sounding in the face of horrific violence, but the sad fact is we in the US not only tolerate it, we glorify it. As H. Rap Brown once said, "Violence is as American as cherry pie." And nothing does violence like a proliferation of guns.
