Okay, come on: it's pretty clear that the rare part of all this is that it happened on live TV. It's not a dodge to acknowledge that, and in fact it might even work out in favor of gun control arguments; the separation provided by only seeing the aftermath of these kinds of killings makes it easier to dismiss it, especially if you have an ideological drive to defend guns. The nutters can easily step over bodies they can't see, but here? Here we have the violence playing out front and center; maybe this time it's enough of a shock to make the NRA's pablum ring hollow in enough ears to effect real change.
