Gun Control and the Slaughter of Innocents

Gun Control and the Slaughter of Innocents: I am strongly in favor of gun control. Gun control laws in the United States are long overdue, and the success of the gun lobby in blocking their enactment is a national disgrace. In this blog post, however, I want to distinguish two meanings of turning to the need for gun control in the immediate aftermath of the terrible tragedy that occurred at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. These meanings have to do with two differing ways in which human beings can react to feelings of unspeakable horror and powerlessness in the face of the slaughtering of innocent little children.
