We all are saddened by the tragedy last week. But political discussion on this thread about legislation, gun control, censorship etc. will not help and will only divide the many great posters of this site.

IMHO - Please close this thread.

Some might say this is not, or perhaps more correctly, should not be a political discussion. Some might say that discussing solutions to deeply troubling problems is a way to heal wounds, and begin a dialogue that may ultimately be solved politically. Some might say that if discussions of this type can be kept civil, they provide an excellent way for people to think through how they might ultimately make a difference, and many of those solutions may well come outside of legislative action. Some might say that if one in not interested in such discussion, one might choose not to click on the thread. And some may not agree with any of these things.
