    Yes, this is big news. I am sorry for the victims, but such acts no longer surprise me. Year after year.
    My question is when and where is the next one?

    Yes this is horrible, but the guncrowds are still not convinced it's about the ridiculously easy way any1 can procure & hide a gun in this country! No conversation, no discussion, no proposals, no solutions! Just 2nd amendment & that's it!!
