Today's shooting is uniquely cataclysmic for the families of the kids and teachers who died. But let's not delude ourselves. Every kid and adult in that school is a victim. Most of them will experience life-altering trauma that we can never understand and will never go away.

The upside of assault weapons is just not worth the carnage. Maybe that proposition is debatable if we didn't know whether a ban could work. But we do know. Mass shootings dropped significantly when the 1994 ban went into effect, and then spiked when the ban expired.
