School shooting in Centennial, Colo.

Regarding the shooting: Hopefully the two injured kids will be all right.

Regarding the 24/7 news coverage: I have no further comment.

 

Everytime we have one of these, we re-start the debate over gun control. Then it seems to simmer down in a few months, the headlines move on to something else and nothing happens. Then the cycle starts all over again.

I'm guessing that this, combined with the Sandy Hook anniversary, will make the debate louder than ever. Merry Christmas.

 

Doubtful, since most gun laws passed in the year since Newtown loosened existing ones.

Doesn't Colorado seem to have more than its share of this kind of craziness?

 

This will be forgotten by the end of the weekend. Except for, you know, by the injured, the terrorized and their families who won't ever be over it.

And then we'll do it again sometime soon.

 

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

 

I see on the thread titles page that the last comment on a thread was made by Mark2010. And then I still click.

 

And nothing will change.

 

*Crime. Boy, I don't know.*

 

As far as I'm concerned, this could serve as a new definition of insanity:

How can that be logically explained? So was all that national outrage over slaughtered children just for show?

 

The people who were outraged aren't in power. And those in power weren't outraged.

 

We as a country have decided that dead kids are acceptable collateral damage to gun ownership rights as they are.

If nothing changed after Newtown, nothing is going to change now. It really is that simple. The pro-gun folks won, and won resoundingly.
