SHOOTING: We've seen all this too many times before

Ho-hum. Another shooting.

We just love to shoot our young people and our presidents, yet we see ourselves as one of the most advanced, powerful and civilized countries in the Western Hemisphere. Having one of the highest rates of death by guns apparently does not figure in this.

Build it, and they will come. Have guns, and they will shoot.

Ah, well, so it goes, over and over again. God bless America!
