Gun absolutists sometimes note that there's one out there for every adult and child in America, with the implication that nothing can chage our culture. It seems the Prez and his VP disagree. Instead of one or two kids at a time, Sandy Hook put 20 little ones and six staff members at once before us. Obama and Biden say this in the moment, the one when at least the minimal controls can pass Congress. We'll talk about anti-trafficking possibilities, return of assault-weapon and ammunition bans, thorough background checks and better tracking — none of which affects hunters, skeet and target shooters, or those who can only sleep with a pistol in the night stand. We know some of Biden's panel proposals and maybe more by show time. The public strongly polls for better, stronger laws. The test now will be whether enough members of Congress have the sense and compassion to get with the program.
