  Very sad and tragic,but its to early to say much about causes rtc,.etc,have to let the media and media types have their say when and if they get the facts right,I did see however that on the usual talikg head shows most all talked about banning assault weaponsa,armor penirtrating ammo etc. I must have missed the part about what type of assault weapon the nutso used. I thought he used three or so hand guns. Have to wait awhile till the media frenzy dies down and the usual antigun politicos get their new and worthless gun laws written.

  I hope this isn't too soon to discuss this, but the topic seems be be getting started already, and this is only my opinion. The root of our society's problems isn't lack of gun control laws. More laws are only a feel good, do nothing answer to a deeper problem. The real root of these tragedies lies in the lack of mental heath treatment and the stiigmatism that people who need help are looked upon negatively. The world we live in is full of stress and angst. The common denominator isn't the guns they used, but the deterioration of their mental heath. Open access to mental health treatment seems a more viable cure.

  Thank you for mentioning the gunman only as briefly as possible. I don't care who he is, what his neighbors thought of him, why he may have done it, ad nausem. ABC is the worst at this. Focus should be on the victims, with all respect to their privacy. My condolences go out to all affected by this senseless act.

  Sorry folks, I'm beyond sadness, I'm into rage. I can't believe how stupidly tragic this really is.

  Yes, leave the gun debate for another day. If you aren't feeling genuinely sad for the families affected by this senseless massacre, here are a few discussions you could have that aren't a gun debate:

  -The value of homeschooling. It's not only a budget and education argument. It's a safety argument.
  -Mental Health in America. Are we doing all we can to recognize and treat mental illness in America?
  -School Security. My son gets speech therapy at a local school. My wife usually takes him. Last week, I went. I walk in, past the front desk and wen to the room my wife told me to pick him up. I could have gone anywhere in that school. No one asked who I was. It would have been easy to have a gun on me, open up a classroom and start shooting.

  These are three good discussions to have other than a tired gun debate.
