‘Going postal’ is the tip of the iceberg. The larger problem lies beneath the surface

Or is today, asks Emma Teitel, pretty much the only time American politicians will be willing to touch the topic?

Gun control isn’t about fulfilling a utopian fantasy, an all-or-none sum game. It’s about harm reduction.

James Holmes, the alleged Aurora movie theatre shooter, was formally charged Monday with 142 criminal counts, reports The New York Times.

A pregnant mother who was shot in the Colorado shootings, and lost her daughter in the massacre, miscarried on Saturday.

The Colorado shootings are looking more and more premeditated. A notebook from alleged Aurora shooter James Holmer was sent to a Colorado psychiatrist, detailing his plan of attack in the movie theatre. It wasn’t found until three days after the murders.

When James Holmes allegedly opened fire on innocent movie watchers last Friday, killing 12 and wounding 58, people wondered what could lead a person to do such a thing. Holmes was put into solitary confinement over the weekend and this morning stood in front of a court, and cameras, for the first time since the shootings.

Assumptions, agendas, insensitivity, and idiocy were all in evidence on this difficult day.
