I read Athenae's words on the terrible shootings yesterday and thought of this:



It was made at a time when, it seemed, violence against our country's leaders was at an uncomfortable high that we hoped we wouldn't see the likes of again....as a reminder that the violence has always been with us.

Will the discourse change?  I hope so, but as long as there are those who continue to proclaim, "My way or the business end of a gun," I doubt it will.
