"...your children and mine are just as much at risk as they were the day before Columbine."

6. Any indignation will be short term.. until the next incident

I'm a bit less cynical than you. Should the rate of shootings drop, the pro-control folks will respond with a lot of mutual admiration for fellow restrictionists and their efforts that have finally begun to pay off. The pro-gun speakers will meanwhile proclaim they were right all along and that the increase in number of guns has no bearing on shootings.

Should shootings continue unabated, I expect all of those I named (and many others) to speak a lot, say very little and actually do even less.
