The only noteworthy thing about this latest shooting is how much news
coverage it and similar shootings get.  About the same number of
Americans are killed by cars in the average *hour*, and nobody carries
on about that.  Or about people who drown in their bathtubs, or die
in chainsaw accidents, or are electrocuted when changing a lightbulb.
But whenever some homicidal nut acts out with a firearm, suddenly
Something Must Be Done.
