Re: School shooting tw

I'd like to hope that this time we'll actually learn the name of the victim before people turn their death into a political issue, but I'm not holding my breath.

I know this has been said ad nauseum before, but it obviously needs to be said again. As an Australian, I am immensely grateful that within months of the Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania, in which a single gunman killed 35 people and injured 23, the conservative government of the time turned it into a political issue and initiated tighter restrictions on gun ownership and a mass gun buyback scheme. I am grateful because there haven't been any mass shooting incidents in Australia since, and homicides and suicides by gun have dramatically decreased (without an increase in death by other methods).

'Politics' isn't a dirty word if it's just the medium through which society reacts to an atrocity and thus stops further atrocities. Same with 'gun control'.
