The hands-off-my-guns community is hunkering down, as it did after Columbine, after Tucson, after Aurora, confidently waiting for the storm of outrage to pass.
Just curious: If 20 dead children aren’t enough to start the change process, how many would it take? 100? 500?
But those questions assume that SOME number, however outrageous, would at last open a tiny crack in the massive resistance of the gun lobby.
In reality, no such number exists.
