Everyone is heartbroken over school shootings. Even the most ardent second amendment supporter doesn't want anyone, especially innocent children to be shot and killed. No one has a monopoly on virtue on this issue, but the anti gun crowd certainly acts morally superior. Before the bodies are counted you'll see people calling for full gun confiscation. Yes, the opposite is also true-you'll see people demanding that those calling for even the slightest gun control are "Coming for your guns."
First off yes, some people truly are coming for your guns. They want total disarmament of the population. It's delusional and never going to happen. In fact, the rabid anti-gunners remind me the anti abortion crowd. Both political parties use the issue to raise funds, then when in power, they do nothing to further the cause. The pro lifers are too obtuse to understand this, and so are the anti gunners.
Obviously, we need to stop school shootings. We need to look at all factors-from the mentally ill owning guns to putting more officers in schools, and maybe even arming certain teachers after in depth training. Whatever we do, both sides of the gun issue need to ask themselves tough questions.
