Let us pray for all these children and their families, and for the political discussion that hopefully will lead to better gun control laws.

No, facts are not political. They can only be changed by new information. There has never been any new information about the effects of weapons. Self-interested politicos can only hope to obscure facts or lie about them. If they want to say that 2+2=5, they can, sometimes do, and some actually believe what they say.
These awful deaths cannot be changed. But the best thing that could happen would be that the conviction and emotional resolve so many more people feel this week could expose the lies and distractions of the self interests. Let's give those 26 innocent victims the respect and power it takes to finally change our weapons laws in their memory.
