If you start another thread, you know I've no qualms about engaging politically.

I didn't start this.
My point is that one has every right to comment about guns and the gun culture while talking about a gun tragedy.
To say one can't is like saying that we couldn't discuss the problem with lawn darts after children were killed and maimed by them.
Yes, of course comfort and aid the survivors. But we must also do our best to prevent it from happening again, or at the very least try to minimize it.
And why do guns have to be political, anyway? It's not a left or right / Democratic or republican things.
You may be surprised that I own guns. I am also in favor of common-sense gun regulation.
Years ago near me, an 11 year-old child killed his dad's pregnant girlfriend with a shotgun that his father bought him for Christmas.
That 11 year-old kid would have to wait 5 years before he could get behind the wheel of a car, 8 years to vote, and 10 years to drink a beer. But he was legally allowed to own a gun. There's something terribly wrong there! I don't care if you're Rep or Dem, this can me a common-sense discussion, not a political one.
