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.

I think we're talking about the same thing. You may have expressed it better. I still believe, however, that somehow we need to lobby against the uber-strong NRA lobby and bring facts into play to sway the politicians. They must find courage to stand up against the NRA.
This may get too political for the Admin. I understand. this may get deleted. But my views on gun control will never change. I do not, and will never, believe the constitution meant we were free to buy bullets that explode in people's bodies.
