Maybe it's just me...

Maybe it's just me, but isn't it time for a discussion on gun control laws in the U.S.?

Not counting drive-bys, gang ambushes, and domestic homicides (and countless cases in which gunfire at parks, bars, and shopping malls pierced flesh but did not take lives), there were more than 125 fatal mass shootings in the United States during the years between the Columbine killings and the massacre at the Century 16 theater in Aurora, Colorado. Here, drawn from online archives and a list maintained by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a random Inventory of horror.
