Another deranged killer has used a semi-automatic firearm to commit mass mayhem at a Florida high school. While the nation’s thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their loved ones, the never-ending gun control debate has reached new levels of intensity.

While the venue and religious motivation of the killer presented somewhat different security issues, I believe that the rationale of   my previous piece applies with equal force to yesterday’s outrage.
