I watched in horror as the Sandy Hook massacre of children took place. I thought to myself "How could this happen here in Connecticut?"

We weren't so special, despite the fact that we are a deep blue state.

I'm glad there is an upsurge of outrage and cries of "never again!" But after the funerals and the memorials and demonstrations and the tears, we as a country will go back to the same old, same old.....

I wish it was different this time. I really do. But how can I?
