The Newtown Tragedy is not really about school safety. Adam Lanza could easily have chosen to walk into a grocery store, a church, an office building, a sports stadium, etc. We can't put everything in America in complete security lockdown in anticipation of the Adam Lanzas of the world.
This Tragedy is about an emotionally troubled young man who needed more than his family and our society could give him (counseling, isolation, I don't know) who had too easy access to weapons whose sole purpose is the taking of human life in a devastating and profound way.
Who do we blame for this? I really don't know. I guess we all look in the mirror for that, and search our own soul.
