The second amendment was about arming a militia, it had nothing to do with a right to slaughter at will.

I think we should consider what kind of society has this happen so regularly.

That is a legitimate question. I'm so far from an answer that it is ridiculous.

Really? So when was the last mass killing in Canada and Europe that diid not involve terrorists.
Of course considering that this country was born in violence you are probably right.

I don't know the answer either. All I do know is I'm no longer willing to live in a country which is too cowardly to confront this issue because of partisan politics.

I think most countries were born in violence.
It turns out wiki has a list of school shootings. It does appear to becoming more frequent in 'modern' times.

This guy showed some leadership today. He reflected the feelings that I was experiencing.

Unless and until we choose to do something about our culture of guns and violence, events such as this are things that we will have to accept as the cost of doing business in a society where even thinking aloud about meaningful gun control is shouted down (just ask Bob Costas). Unfortunately, this has become the new normal.
