As the blood continues to dry at the grade school in Connecticut, the political vultures have descended to exploit the atrocity for political gain. I have received a number of e-mails and on-line petitions announcing "vigils to end gun violence," an undertaking I suspect will not include any references to the "gun violence" engaged in by the state that such "vigilantes" seek to persuade. Given that a number of these shootings have taken place at government schools, might the suggestion be advanced to disband government systems of education?

As I have suggested before, if those who believe that legislation can resolve the problem of mass-killings, why don't they propose enacting a law to prohibit such behavior?
