There isn't much I can say about yesterday's massacre at Virginia Tech that hasn't already been said or thought or reported. For the next few days we mourn as a country, offer our condolences to the victims and their families, and begin the process of moving forward, even as details on what exactly happened continue to emerge.
And despite the whining on the right, part of the healing process should include a discussion on gun control. There is no way, when a massacre of this scale occurs, that the gun debate can be set aside. After all, 32 innocents are dead at the hands of guns that were likely obtained illegally (their serial numbers had been sandblasted off).
But, not now. Emotions are raw, a college campus is devastated, a nation mourns. The debate can take place a little later.
