It hit particularly close to home for me. I was born and raised in Colorado, and have a big brother who once was raising a family of six children in Littleton.
Standard questions come to mind in the aftermath of such a tragedy.
An obvious response is calls for stricter gun control laws. Now I'm not arguing either for or against gun control. But think about it. We already have strict laws and spend tons of money to combat marijuana, amphetamine, and cocaine use by our young people. And yet that has not stopped the availability of illegal drugs to even elementary school children in America.
