Sitting in a hotel in Sydney and saw this on the news this morning. I have a very definite opinion on US gun laws, but irrespective, it's still people killing people so no point in debating that issue.

The fact this bloke has walked into an elementary school and taken out 27 people (including 18 kids) is horrific ... we send our kids to school with the realistic assumption of their safety being a given.

My heart breaks at the thought of those parents who've received news of having their child's life taken this morning by a crazed 24 year old gunman rampaging their school ... not news any parent should have to deal with in any nation around the world.
