bear scars for the rest of their lives. It may be mental problems, it may be physical problems.
Plus there are family and friends who will have to shoulder the care of the victims that didn't die.
And of course there are family and friend of those who did die who can never forget.
For each victim, dead or alive, there is a network of family and friends scarred by the action of some - let's call them terrorist.

I do not know why our gutless congress can't adopt some insurance requirements tied to gun ownership.
Let people have their guns, but make them financially responsible for what is done with them.
