It makes me sad. I am proud that he is defending his child's school, but sad that this is yet another media event sensationalizing an incident that for the most part is remote. This event is going to end up costing many more lives if it creates additional gun laws that prevent citizens from protecting themselves...

As horrible a tragedy as this event, or other events like this were, are, or will be, the victims involved do not even make up a percentile of our total population, yet they generally end up impacting changes that have an effect on a large % of the population.

Even if we look at 9/11 and how horrible that was and how many deaths occurred - it was still just a blip in the big picture, yet look at all the changes that followed. Or... look at how many were killed in the "war on terror" that resulted.

I feel like we're largely only look at one side of the coin because its the only side we're shown.

Also, I'm not trying to discount any of the lives lost, because they are infinitely important to the families that lost them - but the media should NOT be sensationalizing that loss! The loss of a child is an absolute tragedy.
