It surely won't be 50 killed at a nightclub.

...50%+1 of the population is directly impacted by gun violence. Until a voting majority of the country feels the deep personal family pain created by this insane worship of the precious, it will continue.

Remember, we had this same conversation after 20 6 year olds were victims and when it was over, nothing changed.

And we'll have this conversation again. It'll be 20 here, 14 there, 66 over there. I don't think there's really a number that allows people to see the light when their religion prevents them from doing so. Ultimately, gun worship will be the last religion standing.

I think 30 years ago or less such events would have been unheard of.
Columbine taught us different.
( the UT Tower Charles Whitman shooting in 66 was the first
But Columbine began the 'casual' era of mass shootings.)

that might bring change.

The other is if Capitol Hill gets the same thing.

Other than that, it's back to business as usual.
