1. Sometimes perfect is the enemy of good. And we will never get it perfect.

Crazy that massacres like this are still deemed "unthinkable", "unimaginable" and all kinds of other nouns used as ways of being surprising when they occur, when we all know the next one is due at any moment...

Maybe we instead accept what we all know, come to grips with what is repeatedly proven possible and even very much likely to occur. We know what's coming from internal AND external sources - time to start doing something about it. Not try to solve every aspect all at once, but maybe start with a little piece at a time.

"Sure, "assault rifles" may be the weapon of choice right now because they are so easy and available, and perhaps heavily restricting them would reduce at least the violence from guns"

Huh...is there a clue in there?
