Sad but true. I also find my capacity to be shocked by these events is diminished. Ironically, I am not even shocked anymore by the complete nonsense uttered by gun lobby supporters every time this happens. The argument that, if more people in that church had been packing a gun, the killer would have hit fewer people. A statement that not only implicitly accepts these events as common place and inevitable but conveniently disregards what countries around the world know to be so completely evident. That by making guns hard to get, by asserting gun control, fewer people get shot! Duh!
