re: #273 Mattand

And just so we’re clear, Sandy Hook was a very rare event.

It’s great to talk about the odds when it’s not your 6-year-old bleeding out from multiple GSWs.

The argument that the problem isn’t severe because *your* kid is unlikely to get assassinated by a gun-toting lunatic is not all that convincing, I agree. In some ways its another form of the “my kid is gay so I support gay marriage now” road-to-Damascus moment that we rightly find objectionable.
