Wow. It takes some real courage to accept those things about your child, then write about it. Powerful stuff.

Turning this debate towards gun control is addressing a symptom, not the problem. Normal sane individuals do not walk into a public school and start shooting children. Or walk into a movie theater, or a mall, etc etc etc. The story is always the same, an intelligent but troubled loner that couldn't fit into society eventually snaps. We need to address the problem well before it gets to the point of violence, because there's a million ways to kill innocent people.
