I'm not going to read through all this stuff. Just want to say this stuff happens all over the world every day, and every single day is a tragedy. This just hits closer to home. It's a shame we react so much more strongly to this when terrorists in Iraq are blowing up innocent Iraqi civilians, militias throughout Africa are killing and raping, and countless other places throughout the world exhibit death and horror on a much larger scale. But just as our horror was greater for 3,000 people in the World Trade Center than it was for 100,000+ in the Tsunami, this event feels like it's inside the family. Things hit close to home inside the family.

You can try to make the world good or you can try to make it safe. You can take away guns so that it doesn't matter if a person is good or bad, or you can make people good so that you don't have to worry about whether they have a gun or not. I think the first solution is a lot easier, but the second is a lot better.

As I said, I didn't read everything, but I get the sense everyone here wants the world to be a better place. Just some are arguing for the quicker, more practical solution while others are arguing for the harder but more permanent solution. Don't kill each other over it.
