    I guess we get to spend a little more time revisiting gun legislation because of this, right?

After the last mass shooting (a few weeks ago), Dan Hodges from the Telegraph remarked on Twitter:

"In retrospect, Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over."

I think that pretty much sums it up. We're not going to spend a moment more revisiting gun legislation. The same people who already think about it will continue to, while the ones who don't will not.

And that's beyond pathetic.
