re: #592 Killgore Trout

…and if you want a smart and effective reaction I suggest utilizing smart and effective ideas. Junking up the national conversation with apples and oranges comparisons and silly talking points is counter productive. I think something may come of this incident but I suspect it’s going to be another useless initiative to appease public opinion rather than anything to fix the problem. We’ll probably end up with a congressional investigation into the video game industry. At best we’ll get some minor cosmetic tweak to gun control but probably nothing that would have prevented this attack or any other.

And yet, we do come up with lots of restrictions to other crimes and things terrorists have done.
Yet, we ignore the gun issue. So my post was not apples and oranges. It was pointing out that we reacted strongly to ONE person and explosive shoes and yet don’t react at all when 20 kids get killed.
