Commentary

Every decent human being is grief-stricken at the horrendous murder of 19 fourth-grade children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. In the wake of the targeted atrocity, the usual commenters jumped to make the usual arguments about the need to restrict gun ownership or, on the other side of the political spectrum, to train and arm teachers to protect against intruders. It’s all so predictable, depressing, and banal.
