What will be remembered from this incident is that we, as a country, are more committed to our guns than we are to our lives.

We keep hoping that this one will be the one that tips the scales in favor of some rational approach to gun control. Within days, we're left hoping that the next one will be the one that tips the scales - because there is always a "next one".
