I can't wait until the part where we all don't talk about gun control and carry on as usual. Sigh.

EDIT: I see my post is being downvoted. I know that it may come across as insensitive to immediately leap to the gun control debate, but frankly I'm more angry than upset by this news. How many times does it have to happen? We have a good 48 hours of emotional outpouring and then everyone forgets it ever happened.

I came here to say exactly the same thing. Upvote from me.

Second mass shooting of the week. "Guns don't kill people, ..."? Please.

I've seen a lot of confusion about the numbers in the Clackamas (Portland suburb) mall shooting if that's the other one you're referring to. Not sure if it would be considered "mass" even though it was done in a food court, as it was 2 dead besides the gunman, with a third in serious condition but expected to recover. Not negating the significance of it at all or anything, but the shooter stole the gun from someone who was licensed to have it, so that's another issue to address entirely.
