I am not "pro-gun" any more than I am "anti-gun" or pro/anti video games. What I am is saddened by the fact that everybody keeps trying to find whys to legislate their way into controlling behavior rather than deal with what is, in my humble opinion, a failure of our society to recognize and effectively deal with the root causes associated with antisocial behavior.

Exactly. The 3 or so threads on this event have all devolved into "your solution sucks, only MINE will work", and fall into two categories - armed presence on school grounds, or more restrictions on guns - IMHO simplisitic feel good quick fixes that will do NOTHING to prevent this from happening AGAIN - perhaps only reduce the body count.
