The reason nothing gets done to help prevent school shootings even after such horrible disasters is politicians merely respond to such horrors with their favorite lines on gun policy that they touted prior to the disaster. Never do they explain how the policy they offer would have impacted that particular disaster. Simply seizing the opportunity to promote an existing agenda results in nothing being done.
Change that actually reduces gun deaths is needed and it can only happen when politicians focus on doing the right thing and addressing the real problems without regard to political agendas and re-election. (I don't expect that to happen anytime soon.)
When I was an Army medic I recall one of the doctors explaining what the various doctors do. Residents know everything but do very little. Interns know much less but to everything. And the pathologists know everything and do everything, but too late.
Jamie, in many ways you are the journalistic equivalent of the pathologist. Thanks for what you do. I can't imagine how you keep doing it day after day.
