And now that I've returned to sanity.... Sorry: I don't usually froth like that. We're all being stupid. Gun control isn't the real issue here. What we ought to be all worked up about is our failure to do much of anything about an attitude toward mental health issues that could be pretty much summarized by "It ain't my problem if I keep my eyes shut." I called the shooter a nutcase. That was wrong. He was a guy who needed help, and didn't get it. My apologies, everyone.
