It is not really exploiting news stories to point out how often we see
essentially the same story play out over and over and over. People die by
guns - soon it is likely to be more people dying by guns in the US than
dying by cars... and cars are used a *lot* more. The idea of having
reasonable laws to deal with this massive problem makes sense... and many
reasonable gun owners accept this. Most of the general concepts are already
on the books and have been deemed constitutional: background checks, limits
as to what types of arms people can use (though sensible ones, not based on
looks which is what "assault weapons" usually mean), holding people
accountable for the weapons they own, etc. Not taking away the right to bear
arms like the right-wing Christian terrorists were demanding as they
defended the trespassing, thieving rancher in Nevada.

Right: when there is a tragedy such as this it is a great reminder why we
need to handle things better.

Exactly.
