The Investors Business Daily laments gun free zones. The OC Register editorializes against bringing back the Assault Weapons Ban. E.J. Montini is a columnist for The Arizona Republic, and he laments our post-massacre routine:

In the movie The Right Stuff, every time there was a representation of the Media, they had this amazing sound effect that reminded me of locusts. Every time I see a frenzy of “journalists” going nuts and jumping over corpses to get an exclusive, that sounds plays in my head.
