Re: One child reportedly dead after gunman opened fire

I've been sick to my stomach ever since this story broke, and feel a great amount of sadness... not only for the immediate victims and their families, but also for the LEO's/Medical Examiners/etc. that must have one of the most difficult jobs imaginable at the moment, and will be victims themselves for years to come.

Flipping through the media coverage... I am also sickened by most of the networks... who try to sensationalize every little detail (without any credible confirmation), and try to immediately frame this tragedy with some sort of political agenda.

Regardless of our own positions on the matter... I really don't see this as a "gun issue" (either for or against)... this is a "people issue". I certainly felt the interview with Huckabee earlier was most insightful... we are always trying to deal with the issues on the backend, without really having a grasp on how to address them from the front end. For decades people have pushed so hard to make everything so neutral/politically correct/"soft language"/etc., that morals, ethics, and/or religion feel like they have become something optional rather than required. It doesn't matter how much the politicians want to further their agendas... these type of problems are not something that can ever be legislated away, and until they recognize this, it will unfortunately continue to happen.
