The simple fact is that the premise of this thread trivializes the event(s) and is crass in its presentation. 

I'm for any change that will reduce these events; however, not sure this is the preferred method. Perhaps an earnest discussion and a call to action would be preferred over a thread such as this.  

I don't see that we, as a nation, can trivialize these shootings any more than we already have. I don't see any 9/11- type monuments going up outside of Sandy Hook Elementary School. I don't hear any call to action about Columbine. As a matter of fact, I don't hear much anymore about the Los Vegas shooting.

Each shooting gets a day or two in the media and then the public forgets until the next one occurs. People are more worried about defending an overall political ideology than they are about finding a solution to a real problem.

Trivialize? It was trivialized before I got here. It will be even more trivialized when the media moves on from it after this weekend.
