After twenty children and seven adults were killed by a deranged shooter with an assault weapon at Sandy Hook Elementary School, 58 killed in Las Vegas, and 17 in Parkland, Florida, can't we sit down and talk about this without the rhetoric, anger, or shield of the 2nd Amendment?

Who needs armor-piercing bullets that shred the body beyond repair? What will it take to have an intelligent and fair discussion about gun control in America?
The Washington Post published Five Myths About Gun Control. This is a good place to start.
