<p>It well never happen… so we shouldn’t even try to solve the problem by working on tighter gun controls and improving the mental health system… That just makes me sick. And angrier, and more determined that this time we will start to take action and gain momentum on this. </p>
<p>That isn’t really a solution… will we put an armed guard in every movie theater? Provide one at every public meeting held by our representatives? Station them throughout our malls? Put one in every single school, preschool, college building? Should we have one at every church and temple every Sunday? Like every complex problem, we need to attack it from multiple angles with a sustained effort over many years. Like so many other improvements in our society, there will be people who don’t like it. I say too bad. I would love to have us treat “December 14” as a day of infamy and a turning point in the US just like those other “famous dates” that are stuck in our heads. I would like to see a million person march on Washington on this topic as well. And I would like to see unrelenting grass roots political pressure on our politicians at all levels in all states to work on this problem from every angle over the next 10 years. Then I think we will see a change.</p>
