Yet another tragedy, and I don't intend to diminish the severity, I just want to point out that 32 deaths out of 26,000 who attend that school is relatively minor. It could easily have been ten times that number. This is only the tip of the iceberg. In some parts of the world, this sort of violent death toll is almost a daily occurence.

When you are remembering these victims in your thoughts and prayers, I would also suggest doing the same for victims elsewhere in the world, every time you hear about them, if you aren't already. They are no less deserving of it.

Isn't it ironic, in Baghdad they allow each household at least one fully automatic firearm for just such a reason, yet here they use such incidents to further restrict our ability to defend ourselves??? This is the same government imposing these laws in both places. Go figure. I am confident that some of the wounded today would've liked to have been able to shoot back at some point.

Nonetheless, this loss is regrettable. There is no law that can be written that will abolish insanity.
