Horrifying mass murder and the ugly politicizing of its aftermath.

"We must DO something!"  An understandable sentiment, though usually short-lived and never well thought out. Sadly, public figures seem to compete to show who can be the most upset. That allows them to propose solutions we know would not  prevent such atrocities from happening again. Their reactions to mass murders are rarely symmetrical. Terrorism causes many to immediately come ot the defense of others in the same group as the killer. But their political repertoire requires that they immediately brand all gun owners as evil with the potential to do the same thing.Then, they propose more bureaucratic rules and regulations that have already proven to fail.  These are emotional and tough issues but Karen has a unique perspective.
