So many funerals at a time when people should be happy about the holiday's.
I think the mood of the masses is such that some gun regulation will be addressed, even people like Joe Scarborough, and others with high grades from the NRA are inclined to do something. I fear that it will be too little, too late, but I suppose any move in the right direction is a move in the right direction. Whether anything will be done, either by regulation, or voluntarily by producers of violence in movies, video games and music, is less likely IMO. Also expect some mental health issues to be addressed. A shame that any solutions will be too late for twenty 6-7 year old children and their families. If nothing else, this tragedy may cause many parents to rethink their permissive behavior with their children, and try to pass along some ethics and values. Not all will be so moved, sadly.
