Mass murders are not more common.

Or, as one of the finest (and perhaps least-corruptable) writers in America puts it:

Meaningful action in this case would be fashioning schools that respect all of their students; protect them from bullying; foster enough mutual trust to curtail “no snitch” teenage culture; and offer students proactive counseling on how to handle their emotional challenges. But that’s a whole lot harder than grandstanding about banning assault rifles or violent video games.

Violent crime is at a forty year low, and nobody really knows why.

Children are indisputably safer in school than they are outside of it, and anyone truly concerned with their well-being will know this to be true.

DO NOT LET PEOPLE WHOSE EMOTIONS ARE PLUCKED BY TELEVISION SPEAK WITHOUT ANSWER.

Walker:

While there's a lot to object to in the media coverage of the last few days -- the inaccuracies reported on the day of the massacre, the exploitative intrusions on grieving people's privacy -- this feeling that the crime took place in our backyard isn't a bad thing in itself. It represents empathy, and when the press amplifies our empathy, it's doing good. But it's also important for the press to give us a context for that empathy, lest those natural feelings for the victims and the people who loved them turn into an irrational fear that the next victims will be our own children or ourselves.

Great news, both Florida and Kansas have solved every assualt, murder and rape case within their boarders. They now have so much free time they can engage in joint cold case investigations on crimes committed over 50yrs ago. They need to let other states in on their magically efficent investigative process.
