The guns were hers. He tried to get a gun himself but the background check caught the mental illness so he was denied. The system works. Why are we punishing the other 99.9% of the law abiding gun carrying people for this one nut? If we want to stop "senseless deaths" caused by a "weapon of mass destruction" ban cars! Cars cause more death, more destruction of property than guns every year.

This morning, when I took my children to school, there was a guard at the gate for the first time.  Obviously, the school intended it as a thoughtful gesture for anxious mothers.

But that's the point.  Most of the "solutions" being touted offer only a false sense of security.  To that point, Ron Fournier had a compelling piece in today's National Journal, titled "What If Nothing or Nobody is to Blame for Adam Lanza?"  Fournier writes:

What if there is nothing or nobody to blame? Would that make this inexplicable horror unbearable?

What if we didn't rush to judgement?...
