Hope this is not inappropriate, but it really grinds my gears. Every time there's a school shooting or other mass shooting, there's a rash of people from the prez on down calling for tighter gun control laws. It's an automatic knee-jerk reaction for them. Never mind that there are plenty of laws already on the books against what has been done. Why not take a more logical approach of thoroughly analyzing each incident and figuring out what led up to it, what might have been done to prevent it, and how might that be applied to help prevent similar tragedies in the future? Stuff like this happens too often (I'd guess that some are just copycats) and I don't believe calls for more gun laws will do anything to change that. If the prez had any leadership skills ::) he would encourage bright minds to work on the problem using logic, reasoning, and common sense instead of simply jumping on the "more laws" bandwagon.  :twocents:
My goal in life is to be as a good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

If you don't learn something every day, you're not paying attention.
