Nowadays the first step to take after a school shooting, far from mourning or otherwise feeling sorry for the families whose children were killed by a maniac, is calling for new and immediate restrictions on gun ownership.
The second step is insisting that there must be some external reason why this wonderful, loving 20-year-old would commit such an atrocious crime. He must have been driven to it by societys unrealistic expectations, our culture of violence, or something else. Certainly it couldnt be that Adam Lanza was the problem, that he fully understood what he was doing and didnt care.
Many seem to believe otherwise, though. They act as if its our collective duty to find out exactly why everyonewith the exception of Adam Lanzais responsible for the massacre so we may change our ways and become a model society of enlightened wimps. People and organizations are taking ridiculous lengths to ensure that they dont offend anyones delicate sensibilities for the next few weeks...........
